The scale of the Universe truly amaze the imagination. The native planet seems very large to earthlings. The aircraft needs several hours to get from one part of the Earth to the other. But outside our Blue Planet there are so huge distances that although we can describe them, they are outside our perception. The cards that are given on the next four pages depict our universe on an increasing scale, starting from the Earth system - the moon and up to the most distant galaxies known to humanity.
