Just try to keep things in perspective!

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid, probably at one of the Smithsonian museums. I found it fascinating and a bit frightening:

POWERS OF TEN


Years later, another classic piece of film helped me deal with a similar problem of our place in the grand scheme of things:

THE GALAXY

Marc these are great. The powers of 10 is creepy. Even the music is creepy. When I was about 8, I dreamed little creatures were pulling me up into the sky really fast. Away from my family, who couldn't reach me. I get the same feeling watching this video. Thank god I'm older! And the galaxy is just plain wacky.
