I've always loved this masterpiece by The King and Queen of Eames. It's wonderful, and its 1977 vintage (pre Google Earth by many an Angstrom unit) only adds to its wonder. The before-your-very-eyes presentation of the notion that sub-atomic particles are doing the same funky stuff under that guy's skin as they are 100 million light years out in space is enough to keep you awake at night.
And thanks to Creative Review for reminding of the timeless power of Powers of Ten. Interesting competition by the Eames Office and Core77. Although it's one that I will certainly avoid. I mean - what could you possibly add to it apart from, as one YouTuber suggests, an electron microscope and the Hubble telescope at either end....
