AMNH News: Directing "Journey to the Stars"

Featuring extraordinary images from telescopes on the ground and in space and stunning, never-before-seen visualizations of physics-based simulations, the dazzling new Journey to the Stars launches visitors through space and time to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky, including our own nurturing Sun.

Hear from Carter Emmart, Director of Astrovisualization at the American Museum of Natural History, as he describes the creative process behind this immersive theater experience. Journey to the Stars, narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, premiered on Saturday, July 4, 2009, in the Hayden Planetarium at the Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space.

I spoke to Mr. Emmart at an optics store in NYC two days ago. He was very cool and showed me all sorts of stereographic images of the moon and mars. I think I'm going to buy a telescope now!

Awesome. But I'm gunna take a bet that Mr Emmart's got a californian background.
