Anyone come across this site?

A friend was telling me about a website where he zoomed right in on a leaf to microscopic level and then could zoom right out into the universe. Only problem is he can't remember the link. If you know it, post it, sounds interesting.

[www.microscopy.fsu.edu]
There are a few things like this... I know of another one similar. Ill try look!
it was like this ..

Im not sure on the exact figure, but nearest galaxy to ours andromada or whatever it is moving something like 700miles/s closer to us and yet it is still nothing. i tihnk its 700miles/s lol!

My point exactly!
To us, we cant even understand that kind of speed... to us its such a high number its imaginable but its happening.

wow, never thought of it like that... Isnt that why they said the hubble telescope can technically look back in time then I guess?
Space is fun. The other day googling I came across some awesome shuttle launch pictures!
edit - ill have a look at the link thanks!

I can't open the link to the universe/leaf thing, it says there's an error 
K*bots UK, specialist providers of 'fun science' Curriculum Enhancement days for Primary and Secondary schools in Britain.
Please find us on [en.wikipedia.org] for more information.
I can barely comprehend that. I know it's cliche, but it just shows how insignificant we really are.

Is reversal the thing where the universe is actually expanding now at a greater rate than ever? And no-one knows why.
I'm absolutely fascinated by this, its just a shame A-level physics barely touches on the subject, but I would guess its because much in space cant be scientific fact as we arent sure what happens. But it would be a hell of a lot more interesting than resultant forces.

Its the most common talked about point but i always find it amazing to think where does it end the universe, how can something not have a end. Boggles the mind that

Pretty much, before scientists "discovered" (more like stumbled across) dark matter there were two theories as to what would happen to the universe: either the mass density of the universe was greater than the critical mass, at which point the universe would collapse having reached a "maximum" size, ending in the same way the universe started, or if the density were below the critical mass the universe would continually expand, slowing down over time but not stopping.
However, now we know that dark matter exists nobody is quite sure what will happen. There are several potential outcomes, perhaps the universe will continue to accelerate until the universe essentially tears itself apart, heat death and several other theories.
It is entirely possible (as I said before) that while the universe expands it could contract again. This does seem unlikely given that dark matter exists in the universe but to be fair when you don't really know what's going to happen any theory could hold
Does seem most likely that the universe will continue to accelerate, given this condition it seems that heat death would be the most likely. As the universe expands everything else has to as well. The space in between galaxies stretches cooling the universe down so eventually everything just destroys itself.

hawking explains it that way: imagine you´re a person living on a ball but you could only see, feel in 2D. there´s left/right and forward/backward but no height. one day you want to do a journey to the end of your world. you start walking in a straight line and once you arrive where you started (cause it´s a ball). because you only know 2 dimensions you can´t understand that.
it´s the same for us: some theories propose at least 17 dimensions. we only experience 4 (if you add the time). so it´s likely that you wont ever reach an end if your travelling across the universe but for sure there is an end. interesting question is: whats outside? (perhaps someone has to jump into a black hole to find out, like homer simpson getting into the real world in an episode )
