Map of the Universe


Logarithmic of course - anything else would just be silly.

Basically it's showing the distance from earth of observable objects (a.k.a. stuff) as height. Each layer, from the bottom up represents twice the distance of the previous layer.



Ok... not the most interesting thing in the world to look at, unless you're a geek like me.

This one's a bit more fun!



heh... the Great Attractor's on there!
