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.

  • Wow. Scientific discovery is so amazing, that even in 6 minutes, the universe as we know it can be shown in a way that we can almost relate to. And there's bits we don't know and understand yet!

    With all that, it amazes me that people still prefer to think that someone/thing created it. On a whim. Just for humans. Is this not wonder enough in itself?!

  • @maidenrules13 It is strange, but this makes me believe in him even more.

  • @northernpike56 of coarse yes, speed of light isnt so fast for universe journey :-D

  • @PatrikDeLogne this video does travel faster than the speed of light (:-)

  • @northernpike56 not exactly, what if u can travel more faster then light? speed of light cant be maximum velocity :-D

  • If that was a true travel...the earth wouldn't have been in existance when you got back :-)

  • on the fly back in, earth looked so welcoming. it felt good to be home

  • This may be my favorite video in the multiverse.

  • @nickinsydney I agree the universe is massive no GARGATUAN, and its just wonderous litterally the final fronteir. To just step off our world and leave behind all the history, the major events everything youve grown to believe and too step out into a eerie vast undiscovered place , that just blows my mind. I know ppl are scared of it and they try to create meaning because they dont understand it , hell i dont but if i had the chance to go into outerspace i would.

  • Definitely a full screener. Beautiful stuff ...kinda reminds me of the EOC game.
