The scale of the universe

Neat animation: this demonstrates the size of the universe in a freely zoomable scale. Kind of like a Powers of Ten in animation. Actually I like even more the wrong version which randomly mixes up all the elements. Where else can you find the Crab Nebula next to a quail egg and the Eiffel tower?

Google beast

Google bashing is en vogue right now, what with all the class action suits about privacy on Google Buzz, Google Maps etc. Above video is no exception-- it doesn't raise a lot of new points (we all know what a multi-tentacled octopus Google has become) but it does paint an informative allover picture.

Solar system infographic

Another excellent infographic of the solar system, this one also has the non-planets Ceres, Makemake, Eris and Haumea! Made by Michael Paukner who also has lots of marvelous graphics and posters on his Flickr account.

Planets of the solar system infographics

Very neat infographics for the planets of the solar system. Yes, including Pluto but excluding Eris. I guess it will be a while before the new school catches on here.
