Isn’t it beautiful? This is an illustrated logarithmic scale conception of the observable Universe with the Solar System at the centre.
Encircling the Solar System are the inner and outer planets,
Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri star, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy,
Andromeda galaxy, other nearby galaxies, the cosmic web, cosmic microwave
radiation, and invisible plasma produced by the Big Bang at the very edges. See
below for uncropped and zoomable versions.
Created by musician and artist Pablo Carlos Budassi, the image is based on logarithmic maps of the Universe put together by Princeton University researchers, as well as images produced by NASA based on observations made by their telescopes and roving spacecraft.
