Isn’t it beautiful? This is an illustrated logarithmic scale conception of the observable Universe with the Solar System at the Centre.
Encircling the Solar System are the inner and outer
planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri star, Perseus Arm, Milky Way
galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, other nearby galaxies, the cosmic web, cosmic
microwave radiation, and invisible plasma produced by the Big Bang at the very edges.
See below for uncropped and zoomable versions.

Created by musician and artist Pablo Carlos Budassi,
the image is based on logarithmic maps of the Universe put together by
Princeton University researchers, as well as images produced by NASA based on
observations made by their telescopes and roving spacecraft.
