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.

Exceptional video! Why from the Himalayas? Because the highest land mass?

Read somewhere, that 'only' man made visible thing can see on earth from the moon (natural vision) is the Great Wall of China. Perhaps do to its continued great length.

Similar to the "canali" (lines that look like 'canals') on Mars.

Again, exceptional video!
