Two Semesters of Science in Less Than Five Minutes

In the past few weeks, I've come across two very cool things on the Web. The first is called the Scale of the Universe.




The second is a panoramic view of the nighttime sky, called the Photopic Sky Survey.




Both of these are amazing works of computer imagery, and they show us something about science in minutes that would otherwise take hours to understand.
