Powers of Ten™ (1977) - Visualization of the relative size of things in the universe, starting at a picnic in Chicago and zooming out by factors of ten for 100 million light years. Wondrous... and the the return trip and beyond, entering the skin of a person at the picnic to examine ultra-small powers of ten.

·|· Powers of 10 by Ray & Charles ames. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside, this film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward — into the hand of the sleeping picnicker — with ten times more magnification every ten seconds.
Powers of Ten [Video Credit & Copyright: Charles & Ray Eames (Eames Office)] Explanation: How different does the universe look on small, medium, and large scales? The most famous short science film of its generation gives breathtaking comparisons. That film, Powers of Ten, originally created in the 1960s, has now been officially posted to YouTube and embedded above. Please click the above arrow to see the nine minute movie for yourself. From a picnic blanket near Chicago out past the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies, every ten seconds the film zooms out to show a square a factor of ten times larger on each side. The video then reverses, zooming back in a factor of ten every two seconds and ends up inside a single proton. The Powers of Ten sequence is actually based on the book Cosmic View by Kees Boeke in 1957, as is a similar but mostly animated film Cosmic Zoom that was also created in the late 1960s. The changing perspectives are so enthralling and educational that sections have been recreated using more modern computerized techniques, including the first few minutes of the movie Contact, and in a short digital video called The Known Universe created in 2010 for the American Museum of Natural History. Ray and husband Charles Eames, the film's creators, were known as quite visionary spirits and even invented their own popular chair.
Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward- into the hand of the sleeping picnicker - with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. Our journey ends inside a proton of a carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell. Powers of Ten is a 1968 American documentary short film written and directed by Ray Eames and her husband, Charles Eames, rereleased in 1977. The film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in factors of ten (see also logarithmic scale and order of magnitude). The film is an adaptation of the 1957 book Cosmic View by Kees Boeke, and more recently is the basis of a new book version. Both adaptations, film and book, follow the form of the Boeke original, adding color and photography to the black and white drawings employed by Boeke in his seminal work.

Arguably the most sophisticated landing yet attempted on another planet, the Curiosity entry vehicle had to autonomously shed its heat shield, deploy a parachute, executive several rocket maneuvers, and operate a first-of-a-kind Sky Crane to lower its small car sized rover to the surface of Mars. Why was the 7-minute landing autonomous? Because that's shorter than it takes a signal to reach Earth.

Lightning captured at 7,207 images per second. Lightning begins as weak meandering downward negative channels searching for positive. Just 0.015 of a second later (realtime), a charge leader finds positive resulting in a powerful ground flash return stroke to negative in the clouds.
