Visualizing the size of large objects and areas of land has never been easier. Next time you’re wondering how big something is, check out the BBC’s website called Dimensions. I put the moon on top of Australia. Then I put the World Trade Center on top of my house. Then I superimposed the Mars rovers over my neighborhood. Then I placed the area affected by the 2010 Gulf Oil spill over New York City. For my finale, I compared the ancient walled city of Babylon with modern day Vatican City.

This is a really nice use of Google Maps.
