i wonder if thats real
Depends. What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
1. Obviously we have no telemicroscope in outer space that can zoom into the cells of a leaf.
2. The images of things much smaller than cells are not related to reality. Especially quarks. At those distances, it's impossible to measure the color (== light wavelength), anyway. Anything known about the quarks' shape/color is probably purely theoretical/hypothetical or even made up to make the subject simpler to understand. As for atoms, come on. They are obviously drawn... Poorly. :)
3. Most of the outer space pictures are probably illustrational only, too.

Saw almost that exact slide show in astronomy last semester.

i saw a similar one like 10 years ago, where it zoomed in towards a park in chicago, into a mans hand


anyone heard about that game quark? its going to be like the reverse ;) you start the game as a microscopic organism and evolve into ocean life, land life, then a comunity of beings, and then a city, cities, take over the planet, goto outer space, colonize the solar system, go to other solar systems, travel the entire galaxy!, it looks amazing, you discover all kinds of other life forms all over the galaxy if you havent seen it, ill post another link for it
