Cosmic Scale
Physical object sizes and large-scale cosmic extents are separated, then plotted logarithmically so each order of magnitude remains readable.

1.7 m reference height
A representative adult height, used only as an orientation point.
A logarithmic scale compresses each tenfold increase into an equal visual interval, allowing unlike orders of magnitude to remain readable.
