A Universe of Atoms in a Flake

October 30, 2023

Gaze upon this seemingly minuscule aluminum flake resting on a fingertip. Within it resides an almost unimaginable number: two quintillion, four hundred ten quadrillion atoms. To fathom this, consider our vast Milky Way galaxy, teeming with around 400 billion radiant stars. If each star represented an atom, this flake would contain the equivalent of 6,025 Milky Ways!

This staggering comparison brings two intriguing worlds together - the infinitesimally small realm of atoms and the incomprehensibly large expanse of galaxies. As you marvel at the skies, remember that the mysteries of the universe can also lie in the tiniest of places, right at your fingertips. Science unravels these wonders, linking the grandeur of galaxies to a simple flake.

Discover the awe in both!
