Michael Davidson
This site from Molecular Expressions provides a visualization of the vast distance scale in the universe. An interactive Java zooms in on a sequence of images starting as a view of the entire Milky Way galaxy and going all the way to subatomic particles. The site also provides an explanation of the convenience of exponential notation and an activity called "Perspectives: Powers of Ten."
Too Old to Learn

Can anyyou give me some advise for doing well in this new subject. The interrest is there, it is the comprehension that is getting in my way.
