A Logarithmic Map of the Entire Observable Universe

Scientists believe we've only discovered about 5% of the universe. Here's a map of what we've found so far, visualized using a log scale.

Map of the Universe

This vertically oriented logarithmic map of the Universe spans nearly 20 orders of magnitude, taking us from planet Earth to the edge of the visible Universe. Each large “mark” on the right side’s scale bar corresponds to an increase in distance scales by a factor of 10.

What's it like to approach the edge of the Universe?

With a finite 13.8 billion years having passed since the Big Bang, there's an edge to what we can see: the cosmic horizon. What's it like?

Pablo Carlos Budassi created this gigantic logarithmic map of the universe. I love how you can imagine it as an ongoing explosion, with all that Big Bang plasma crackling on the edge.
