Powers of Ten

May 22nd

Even though it is over 30 years old, Powers of Ten still offers a fascinating look at the relative scale of the universe. The short film, by Charles and Ray Eames, utilizes a single camera shot to go from the view of a man in a Chicago park to the outer limits of the universe and then back down into the microscopic world contained in the man’s hand.

Check it out.
