The Universe Within - very cool flash image zooms from galaxy to atoms

JavaJones:
Agreed, full-screen would be a big improvement. Nicer imagery would also be great. I could imagine a Google Maps-like ability to choose between the "map" (illustration") view that it has now, and photo-based, like the original Powers of 10 or the one mouser originally linked to.

wow,
very good!

Out of curiosity would ecaradec's swiffout work for this?

ewemoa:
FWIW, the following sort of thing gave a kind of full-screen experience here:


* View the content in a browser that is supported by VideoCacheView (or use DownloadHelper for FF, etc.)
* Save the flash content appropriately - I ended up with a .swf file
* If not already running, start a browser with full-screen capability (e.g. via F11 in IE, FF)
* Drag the .swf file into said browser instance
* Invoke the full-screen capability
No ideas regarding the improved graphics -- if wearing glasses or contacts, try removing them?

David1904:
One things puzzles me - the distance from earth to moon is given as 400,000 km and the distance from earth to sun as 1,400,000 km and worse still the distance from earth to Alpha Centauri is 1,000,000 km (even closer than the sun).
Have I totally misread something - or have other people seen this too?
