As far as we can see with our ever-improving telescopes, there are at least a hundred billion galaxies arrayed throughout the universe. Each, like the Milky Way, is an island universe containing billions of stars. This map uses graphic leaps of scales to show how our solar system fits within the vastness of the universe. The map also includes a universe timeline and a description of its evolution. 20 x 31 inches (approx).

This review is from: The Universe Wall Map (tubed) (Map)
I love this pictorial way of seeing our lack of importance in the universe and how earth fits into it all. My only reason for not giving a five star rating is, I would like to mount this poster. I wish they listed a mat or other simple, thin mounting means as an optional item. I don't want to pay $40 or even $20 for a frame.
