Insignificant Little Blue Planet: Played with.
Then, we zoom all the way in again and keep going until we get down to the structure of an atom.
Epic Tracking Shot: The film starts with a picnic blanket in a park and pulls out, marking every time the distance has increased to a power of ten, until our entire galaxy is just a dot in space. The entire film consists of a long zoom outward to a cosmic scale and then inward to a subatomic one. Astronomic Zoom: The Trope Maker / Trope Codifier. Powers of Ten contains examples of the following tropes: The zoom continues in this fashion, encompassing the entire earth at the seventh power of 10 (10,000 kilometres), then the solar system, the Milky Way, until reaching the 24th power of 10 (100 million light-years), which was then considered to be the scale of the observable universe. Accompanied by explanatory narration by Philip Morrison, the camera view slowly widens to a square of ten metres, then 100 metres, then 1 kilometre, widening by one power of 10 every ten seconds. The man lies down and sleeps and the woman reads. The film starts with a bird's eye view, exactly measuring one square metre, of a man and a woman at a picnic in a park near the south end of the Chicago lakes. Both works were inspired by the 1957 book Cosmic View by Dutch author Kees Boeke. The prototype of the film, titled A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe, was released in 1968. It also shows the symbol used to represent these prefixes, their ‘power of ten’ and the number you are actually replacing with the prefix.Powers of Ten (full title Powers of Ten: A Film Dealing with the Relative Size of Things in the Universe and the Effect of Adding Another Zero) is an educational 1977 short film by Charles and Ray Eames. This table of metric prefixes has the standard names for each prefix used in science and measurements. Use the prefix that applies to your situation. Substituting the metric prefix can make doing calculations easier in your head. The Mega prefix (symbol M) means one million, so you could say the distance is 384 Megameters or 384 Mm. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 384,000,000 meters. 
(This also makes it obvious why they’re called microwaves.) The symbol for micro is the Greek letter μ. The prefix for 10 -6 is micro, so you can say the wavelength of a microwave is on the order of one micrometer. The wavelength of microwaves are on the order of 10 -6 meters. There are a couple of special powers of ten that have their own prefix outside the ‘every three’ pattern. Every three powers of ten has its own metric prefix. These measurements are based on powers of ten, just like scientific notation. The same is true for the metric system or SI units. We have words that express the very large and the very small. The number 5 x 10 6 could be said “five times ten to the six”, but it is easier to say “five million”. Spelling out scientific notation numbers can be a mouthful. Scientific notation is a useful means to write out very large or very small numbers using powers of ten and exponents. Prefixes for the powers of ten are grouped into sets of three zeros, with smaller increments near the number 1. This entry was posted on Augby Todd Helmenstine (updated on August 3, 2022)
