User:Zelo101/The Scale of the Universe

(work in progress)

The Scale of the Universe is a flash web-based game created by Cary Huang in 2010. In the game you explore the sizes of the smallest and largest objects in the universe and displays information about those objects.

The Scale of the Universe 2 was released in 2012.

Around 2020, the game was ported to Javascript by Matthew Martori.

Gameplay
(rewrite) In the game you are given a slider that controls the relative "scale" of zoom. The game contains objects throughout the relative scales that you can click on to view descriptions and their scale in meters

The full scale you can explore is from plank length to the observable universe.

Reception
Jayisgames: 4.6/5

Legacy
The game was featured on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day and is on display at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in the Expanding Universe Hall, and was on display at the Charles Schulz Museum in California.

In September 2020, Kurzgesagt released "Universe In a Nutshell", a mobile app inspired by The Scale of the Universe 2.
