Thank you OP! I've been hoping to encounter this link again

It is mind-blowing indeed! Especially when they said it would take 11 of those maps to show the distance between a proton and en electron, it's inconceivable how empty even the matter we're surrounded by is.

That's impressive!!

It really helps put distances into perspective, I also loved the little phrases along the way :D
