Scale of the Universe 2

The Scale of the Universe 2 is an interactive educational tool created by Cary and Michael Huang. Through a zoom slider spanning over 60 orders of magnitude, it visualizes the relative sizes of objects in our cosmos—from the unimaginably tiny Planck length and subatomic quarks, through biological cells and human artifacts, all the way up to giant superclusters and the observable universe.

Core Cosmic Scale Features

• 62 Orders of Magnitude: Continuous zoom slider ranging from \(10^{-35}\) meters (Planck length) to \(10^{27}\) meters (observable universe).
• Informative Pop-Up Annotations: Click any illustrated object—atoms, DNA strands, giant squids, moons, or red supergiants—for educational facts.
• Modern HTML5 WebGL Port: Fully updated from the original Flash player to modern HTML5, running smoothly across desktop and mobile devices.
