Measuring the Universe

Space was always my favourite part of Science in school, although I wasn't particularly good at science in general. English and Art were more my thing and apparently I was quite good at Maths? Not sure what happened there.

Anyway, I found this little animated video on Measuring the Universe very interesting. I need more simple-terms space animations to learn sciencey stuff. Or History themed ones would be good as well – never studied history at school (aside from primary).

Perhaps a trip to Greenwich and the Royal Observatory is in order?
