Scale of the Universe
As pointed out by others, the largest scales on this animation are completely wrong. The figure given for the Observable Universe, 14 billion light years, is actually only half of the distance between us and the HUDF.YD3 galaxy. The figure given for the total size of the Universe is actually the estimated size of the Observable Universe: 93 billion light years. The size of the Universe itself is not known with any certainty.<p>If you're wondering to yourself how anything can be further away than (age of Universe) * (speed of light), read up on comoving distance and the metric expansion of spacetime.
