Things like this are always so fun. They make these incredible concepts a little easy to picture and imagine.

I agree. It's one of the reasons I really like the RSA Animates. If you haven't watched them, check 'em out. Here's a link to one on Hubski and in the comments there are other links: http://hubski.com/pub?id=7678

Man, astronomers sure know how to name things. "The Great Attractor" seems straight outta SF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Attractor

A while back posted this: http://hubski.com/pub?id=10276 it's also a cool display of scale.

Nice! The scale, posted above, is the enhanced version of this one you have posted here: http://hubski.com/pub?id=10296
Ps: I saw that the tag used there was #science. Should I change the one here too? Because It didn't seem to fit with astronomy or earth to me but science looks ok.

That's totally your call eb. I chose #science because the post has everything from particles to the unknown universe.... pretty general. But you could just as easily tag it #perspective and it would be appropriate. If you tagged it #science though it's more likely to be found imo.
