Theres a Whole Universe Hidden Inside Your Body, and Here Are 20+ Photos to Prove It
Photographs that scientists look at through their microscopes open a whole new world of tiny cells that our bodies are made of. And quite often, these photos look like the views from telescopes aimed at distant galaxies. A close-up of a human eye, for example, resembles a black hole in space, an isolated fat cell looks just like Mars, and a bunch of neurons looks like numerous galaxies scattered around the universe.
We at Bright Side invite you to embark on an exciting journey through the universe of the human body with these 23 eye-opening photos.
