13. 10 11 100 Million km Orbits of Venus, Mars and Earth...

14. Orbits of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Júpiter. 10 12 1 Billion km

15. At this height of our trip, we could observe the Solar System and the orbits of the planets 10 13 10 Billion km

16. 10 14 100 Billion km The Solar System starts looking small...

17. The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars... 10 15 1 Trillion km

18. At one light-year the little Sun star is very small 10 16 1 light-year How Long is a Light-Year? The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance that a beam of light travels in one year.

19. Here we will see nothing in the infinity.... 10 17 10 light-years

20. “Nothing” Only stars and Nebulae... 10 18 100 light-years

21. 10 19 1,000 light-years At this distance we are travelling in the Milky Way, our galaxy.

22. We continue our travel inside the Milky Way 10 20 10,000 light-years

23. We begin reaching the periphery of the Milky Way) 10 21 100,000 light-years

24. At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Milky Way and other galaxies as well... 10 22 1 Million light-years

25. 10 23 - 10 Million light-years Million light-years. Our galaxy is indistinguishable from the other galaxies in our Local Group. It would take light over 10 million years to travel across this image.

26. 10 26 – 1billion light-years Each of the points is a galaxy like ours. They clump together in 'superclusters' around great voids which can be 150 million light years across.

27. The observable Universe is 27 Billion light-years in diameter Surveys of galaxies reveal a web-like or honeycomb structure to the Universe Great walls and filaments of matter surrounding voids containing no galaxies Probably 100 billion galaxies in the Universe Computer Simulation

53. We arrive at our starting point. In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 26 of 10 Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip... 10 0

54. Getting closer at 10 cm...We can delineate the leaves. 10 -1 10 Centímeters

55. At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf. 10 -2 1 Centímeter

56. The cellular structures begin to show... 10 -3 1 Millímeter

57. The cells can be delineated. You can see the union between them. 10 -4 100 microns

58. Starting our trip inside the cell... 10 -5 10 microns

59. The nucleus of the cell is visible. 10 -6 1 micrón

60. Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size. You can see the chromosomes. 10 -7 100 Nanometers

61. In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible. 10 -8 10 Nanometers

62. ...the chromosome blocks can be observed. 10 -9 1 Nanometer

63. It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon atoms that formed our world. 10 -10 1 Angstrom

64. 10 -13 100 Femtómeters At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom.

65. Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom 10 -14 10 Femtómeters

66. Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10 -15 1 Femtómeter

67. Examine the ‘quark’ partícules There is nowhere further to go... We are at the limits of current scientific knowledge. 10 -18

68. Distances in space are quantized in units of the Planck length. According to string theory, the length of strings of which all matter is built is likely to be small multiples of the Planck length. 1,6 X 10 -35 Planck length
