The Internet has too many pages...

This is a total waste of my two weeks, but I have to ask! In just the past couple of days, I saw a great website that showed the comparative size of objects - from as small as an atom (or smaller) to the size of the universe.

Now I can't find it - and I need it!!

It was mostly black, with a flashy, java-esque interface, with a scrolling size-bar across the bottom from tiny to universe big. Was it from National Geographic? (I can't find it) Was it on Metafilter? (I can't find it).

I've googled, I've checked my internet history and cached pages and files. What was it? Where is it??

I'm looking for the website because it was a great example of the type of technology I'm hoping to use for a web-tool idea...

Help!!

Yeah, it was on the blue. I thought it was neat too. I can't find it on the blue right now of course, but it was definitely there.

Related: This reminds me of Powers of Ten by Charles/Ray Eames showing the universe by scales of ten. Might be of interest to others viewing this question.
