Big or small, either way it's impressive

I have to thank ThingMaker for tipping me off about this one...

The Scale of the Universe 2 is an interactive that shows just how big and just how teeny-tiny things in the Universe are. After spending most of the evening exploring it the other night, I knew that BallFiend would love it. But I hadn't realised just how much he would love it.

When I showed it to BallFiend tonight, he was so overwhelmed by how awesome it is that he was almost speechless... for a long time, the only phrase he could manage was "Oh Man!" over and over again. Eventually he was also able to manage a few more phrases: "Go bigger, go bigger!" and "Go smaller, go smaller!". After a solid 45 minutes of exploring the scale of the universe, we finally had to drag him away to bed.

And which bit was the best? Seeing all the ball-shaped stars, each one bigger than the next - of course!
