This video really gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “putting things in perspective.”
It is truly amazing.
This is an amazing short video showing the relative sizes of objects in the known universe. Sit back and prepare to get some perspective. What is even more amazing is the actual space between these objects in space. Numbers and distances lose all meaning when working at this scale, and the human brain has not evolved to cope with them. No you are NOT the centre of the universe! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEheh1BH34Q] … Read More

This video is humbling, and amazing! We are so insignificant. Thank you for posting it on your site.
I have seen a couple of these size comparison videos; this is probably the best one so far. I think it would be a lot of fun for someone to add on one of the smallest galaxies, as that would really drive home the enormity of scale.

Thank you Mr. Crockett! That is an excellent interactive. I had no idea it was available, and it includes exactly the sort of additions I was looking for. Much appreciated.
You are quite welcome!
