This infographic shows the observable universe from top to bottom on a log scale. Sizes are not to scale, but heights above the Earth’s surface are accurate on a log scale (that is, each step up is double the height). This infographic stretches from an 8 metre giraffe to hubble deep field objects over 46 billion light years away.
