Zooming into a quark from 10 million light years out

The last link in my "I should really be doing something else" set of Space links, is a series of zoom-ins starting with a view of the Milky Way from about 10 million light years out from Earth and winding up with a close-up of a few quarks that happen to be loitering in a carbon atom in a tree leaf.

Please do not adjust your consciousness.
