The latter three are the focus of the book Cosmic View (1957) by Dutch educator Kees Boeke. His work inspired two films in 1968: Cosmic Zoom, by Eva Szasz, and Powers of Ten, by Ray and Charles Eames (though their 1977 version is better known). Cosmic Zoom begins with a boy and his dog rowing on the Ottawa River, moving into a hand-drawn animated zoom out into the galaxy before plunging back to the boy. In distinction to Powers of Ten, Scasz\u2019s film does not merely delve into the molecules of the boy\u2019s hand, but zooms into the boy\u2019s blood cells as a mosquito is drinking them in. This is a fascinating choice, as it introduces an essential idea into the contrast between microscopic and galactic scales: that of contact."}
