The Known Universe

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.

Due to the fact that we are such an insignificant tiny particle in the universe, the extreme arrogance and ignorance of mankind is really remarkable!

[narayanlefty]

And we think OUR world is big..

[JOZZYmusic]

You are vastly insignificant. But you're probably so entitled to your own opinion, that you'll never think about it.

God made the other stars just so we would have something to look at and guide us at night.

[TheTrenchface]

This is all the proof you Need of a god.

3:57 what are those green dots?

Oh how I wish I could live to see humanity conquer the stars, see other civilizations, other evolutionary paths just a little further down the path of discovery. Its a shame some people don't appreciate the awe inspiring nature of the universe and the privilege it is to admire it however briefly.

@Mislikcim yeah..

@OverdownOfficial "Our life is a great miracle!"

no it isn't. a miracle is something which could not happen naturally or via any natural agency. our being here is no miracle.

In my opinion if there is a god, it's something that we would never imagine it to be. Not your typical Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Islam, ect.... god.
