The Known Universe by the American Museum of Natural History is the world’s most complete 3D map of the universe, maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the Hayden Planetarium.

The original 1977 Powers of Ten video written and directed by Charles and Ray Eames. Travel from Chicago to the depths of inter-galactic space, then back to Chicago and into the sub-atomic world inside a white blood cell. Each stage of the journey increases or decreases in scale by a power of ten, every ten seconds.
