SURFING THE NET: This is cool!
Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has created a very interesting page. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy from a distance of 10 million light years, and then zooms in toward Earth in powers of ten. Ten million, to one million, to 100,000 light years until you finally reach a large Oak tree in Florida .

Once you Click on the site, the software does all the work. You can play it forward and backward to be amazed over and over. At the end it says AUTO.... Click on that and review the process in reverse.
Enjoy!
