Quasars to quarks. Quite the film, I really liked it.

Reminds me of something I had the class do one year. Consider the Sun a basketball, and figure out the size of the rest of the solar system. Earth was 0.9mm and 93 feet away. By the time we hit Jupiter, it was about 100 yards from the basketball, and Saturn was a block and a half off the school grounds.

The mind blower, concerning how empty space is, was the nearest star in the Centauri system. If the Sun is a basketball in Springfield, Missouri, Proxima Centauri would be a soccer ball on the southern outskirts of Santiago, Chile.

Space is empty, really empty.

That was a great exercise for your students and one I expect they will remember for a very long time.
