Sorry if this is a repost...

View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

I hope their representation of the orbit of the moon is as such to show depth and not actually orbital path, being "very nearly circular" (eccentricity ~ 0.05) in reality.
