Powers of 10

The 9-minute film Powers of ten by Charles & Ray Eames (created for IBM in 1977) zooms out from Earth into space and back again into the micoscopic and sub-atomic dimensions of our world (size range: from 1m to  1024m, to 10-16 m).

This newer film from 2011 (5 min.) consists mainly of pictures and less information as to the scale. It zooms 10-18 – 1026m, showing how our micro and macro horizons have expanded  34 years after the first film!
