Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about the scale of the universe and shows us how big the whole universe is. He describes it in such a way that we can see the true scale of the universe.
The astronauts, interns, engineers, and scientists at the NASA Johnson Space Center show us how their work and research sends astronauts to space through a music video.
Scale is illustrated as the viewer is given a center of focus (the individuals who are picnicking) and slowly the field of view expands incremementally by the power of ten. Eventually, the field of view takes the viewer out of Planet Earth and extends to include other planets of the solar system.
Yakko gives an overview of the universe by describing the celestial objects (stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets) that exist in the universe and putting into perspective the human race's significance. The song is accompanied by excellent illustrations.
This clip takes us into the universe through a series of steps, with each step being 10x larger than the previous. It illustrates the vastness of the universe and that increasing the field of view by a power of 10 makes a dramatic change in what we see.
