Videos about Space and Time Scales

Hi,

I want to share this YouTube playlist about scales of space and time that has some old classic videos and some more recent ones:
www.youtube.com/playlist

Here is a draft article where I explain the process that led me to create this playlist: Space and Time Scales: A Big History YouTube Playlist

I have used it for lesson 1.1 of the Big History course: https://www.oerproject.com/Big-History/Unit-1/1-1-Scale

I hope you find it fun and useful,
Gustavo Lau
PS: I also used this website: www.jpl.nasa.gov/.../

Excellent resources Gustavo Lau !

I particularly really enjoy those videos "To Scale: The Solar System" and "To Scale: Time." They're so well done and even a little tear jerker-y at the end - just thinking about how small we are in this abyss of time and space!

Are there any in particular that your students really took to from your playlist?

Thank you for your comments, Adam Esrig.

My students particularly enjoyed the original "Powers of Ten" and the "Cosmic Calendar" videos. The contrast between Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson’s styles was a talking point.
