This is my next screensaver!

Thanks to The Science Pundit for alerting me to this amazing animation (now also for sale as screensaver):

Secret Worlds: The Universe Within:

View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Check it out. As Javier says: Exponential Zoom from Milky Way to Quark!
