Scroll from a human to the observable universe one step at a time.
Scroll down to move from one size to the next, from the smallest objects up to the largest structures in the universe.
Each card compares the new object with the previous one so you can see the jump in scale.
Keep scrolling to reach the end and then jump back to the start.
The Size of Space is an interactive scale explorer. Start at the size of a person and keep scrolling to zoom out past mountains, planets, stars, galaxies and finally the observable universe. Each step shows the previous object as a tiny dot, making the mind-bending scale of the cosmos surprisingly easy to feel. It is aimed at players aged 8+ and up, and a typical round takes around 5 minutes. If you already enjoy visualisation, space and science games, you will feel at home here within seconds.

Controls are intuitive: use your mouse or keyboard on a computer, or tap and swipe on a phone or tablet.
