“The Scale of the Universe - Interactive” is copyrighted by Cary & Michael Huang. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe universe appears different on every scale we explore, from the subatomic to the galactic. For example, every tiny proton is identical, but every huge galaxy is unique. On more familiar scales, a glass table top is a vast, smooth plane to a dust mite. We are still discovering how the universe behaves at various dimensions.
