In partnership with retailer Sainsbury's, Channel 4 are producing free 3D glasses so that as many people as possible can watch them, although it's unclear which of the various types they'll be. "

Why not compare area to area: A diameter of 1 million nanometers is 1000000 ^ 2 * pi = about 3140000000000 square nanometers.
