Unlike the video I posted in August, this demonstrates the true scale of things. (Unfortunately, though, does not show how the moon looks compared to the Earth, or how the Earth looks compared to the other planets in our solar system.)
You can safely skip through the first 30 seconds. (The last 30 seconds are skippable, too.)

Addendum: Thanks to Roy for pointing out this gem in the comments. It is one section of a program called Cosmic Voyage and is easily the best-constructed video I have seen on this topic. The first five minutes are zooming out to see the visible universe, and then from 6:00 on it zooms into a water droplet. Incredible!
