In most cases, we have a very good idea what the things we see in their earlier stages must look like today. When we see a "primitive" galaxy, we can assume it probably looks very much today as a nearby galaxy with similar mass appears. Some objects we can safely assume no longer exist at all. In most cases, we can estimate where they are now (which may be outside the observable Universe).

It's like watching an old movie with a child in it. While you can't say for certain what that child looks like today, or where it is, you can make reasonable assumptions.

I've only just discovered this on browsing through the archives.

Plus and
is just about all I can say.

There orta be somewhere on Asterisk* where fantastic resources like this are 'pinned' for ready access. Possibly in the Learning and Resources section?

An humble proposal...

Because this interactive universe scale shows the Minecraft world, why does it not have Galifrey The planet from Doctor Who which has been around for much longer. Perhaps maybe some planets from Star Trek as well?

That was my favourite too, neufer.

the phospholipid example is supposed to be 1x10^-9 not 9.

Since it is a flash app, you can try pinning it as a video. Or you could try Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) on facebook. There is a screen print posted there.

It says now that I need a newer version of flash. I know Chrome doesn't support Flash players anymore, but is there a way to get the file?
