I like the updated version of that. It's nice that it gets updated as we discover more things.

I've seen that and similar things before, but it still blows my mind. Makes it seem funny how big of a deal we humans generally think we are.

One of my favorite pictures has always been the one that starts with something smaller than humans, goes through a handful of mammals/ dinasaurs, planets, stars... through Sirius etc. It's like a long picture. I used to have it saved but now I can't find it. Great for putting things into perspective.

I love stuff like this. The interactive one is cool, never seen the vid though before. Worth it.
