# How Vast Is Space?

Film based on a book by Kees Boeke, “Cosmic View: Through the Universe in 40 Jumps” The film "How Vast Is Space" explores the immense scale of the universe by comparing distances and sizes, from the human body to cosmic structures. It emphasizes the relativity of size and distance, illustrating how we can visualize the universe through a series of magnified and reduced scales. The journey takes viewers from the atomic level to the edge of the observable universe, highlighting the vastness of space and the smallness of human existence within it. This concept was later shown in the Eames' "Power of Ten" and National Film Board of Canada's "Cosmic Zoom"
