Scale of the Universe
Fascinating interactive Flash animation showing just how small (and big) things really are.

4. Awesome! I saw an earlier version of this that wasn't quite as detailed.

5. This is pretty cool!
But I'm puzzled by the seven meter long giant earthworm. The largest worm Google shows me is the Giant Gippsland Earthworm, which can grow to 3.7 m.

7. I had to stop reading at "7m Giant Earthworm"
