Here's a chance to learn something for those of us who always wondered at the scale of things.

Click the link below to go to a webpage that has a sliding graphic, allowing you to see the scale of some things, from a coffee bean all the way down to a carbon atom. You'll see bacteria, red blood cells, RNA strands and a bunch of other things in between. Pretty cool way of getting an appreciation for just how small things can be in this Universe.

Under the picture, grab the slide with your mouse and go from left to right... and be amazed.
