Magnitude, The Scale of deep space

In the custom of detailed science bestsellers, like Thing Explainer and harkening back to the classic film The Powers of 10, this unique, fully-illustrated, four-color book explores and envisions the concept of scale in our universe. In Magnitude, Kimberly Arcand and Megan Watzke take us on an expansive journey to the limitations of size, mass, distance, time, temperature level in our universe, from the smallest particle within the structure of an atom to the most massive galaxy in deep space; from the speed at which turf grows (about 2 to 6 inches a month) to the speed of light. Fully-illustrated with four-color drawings and infographics throughout and organized into sections including Size and Quantity (Range, Location, Volume, Mass, Time, Temperature), Motion and Rate (Speed, Acceleration, Density, Rotation), and Phenomena and Processes (Energy, Pressure, Noise, Wind, Computation), Magnitude reveals us the scale of our world in a clear, visual manner in which our fairly medium-sized human brains can easily comprehend.
