View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Powers of Ten is one of my favorite educational videos of all time. Highly recommended. This is basically an interactive implementation of that, which is to say it's completely awesome. cheesy

The site this is on, Molecular Expressions, is a project of Florida State University and there is an unbelievable amount of cool stuff there. I discovered it quite a few years ago and have still yet to see it all. They just keep adding more! In particular the videos of cells in motion (and dividing, etc.) are highly recommend, along with the computer chip shots for the techies amongst us. You could get lost for years on that site.
