The new video zooms out to the limits of our current observational powers, to about 100 billion light years away, 1000X wider than in the original. Our journey ends inside a proton of a carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell.Īs an homage, the BBC and particle physicist Brian Cox have created an updated version that reflects what we've learned about the universe in the 45 years since Powers of Ten was made.
