Cosmic Scale Posters

This is a set of graphics intended to be used as posters, showing the scale of the universe in powers of ten, from the very smallest thing possible, to the entire universe. Intended for secondary science classrooms, ideally printed at A2 size or larger and stuck on the wall. UK metric units and spelling are used throughout.


Cosmic Distance Scale


A scale of the size on the Universe, from smallest to largest, by powers of ten.
