The Known Universe by AMNH

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

"Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." - Arthur C. Clarke.

Man.... after watching this, I am more confident to say that there MUST be other forms of life out there. There are billions of galaxies, and each galaxy has billions of stars, and each star may have several planets orbiting it. At least one of these planets HAVE to contain life. If not, then it's kinda scary, because we're alone.

I can't help but love how well this music goes along with the theme of space.

Staggering. Do not watch if you have issues of low self-esteem or relevance...

Makes one feel so insignificant.
