Explore the Universe from its tiniest particle to its greatest expanse.

Cosmic Voyage begins on Earth, firmly grounded in human perspective, and asks a fascinating question: Where exactly do we stand in the vastness of the cosmos? Where, between quark and quasar, is our place in space and time? You depart from Venice, where Galileo first demonstrated the use of the telescope. In 26 ""powers of ten"" stages, you ascend through our solar system and the Milky Way to the outer edges of the observable universe. Returning to Earth, you enter a drop of water and descend through sixteen ever-diminishing circles to the universe's tiniest particle, a quark. The film features a ""cosmic zoom"" as viewers are transported across millions of years as galaxies collide, the solar system forms and life begins on a young planet Earth.

  • how do you get imax?

    

  • love the video, but too much static in the sound quality

  • Every time I need to remind myself that my problems are insignificant, I watch this documentary. It's an amazing summary of how absolutely infinite and incredible everything is.

  • @GaminHasard It's the weirdest thing ever..

  • @GaminHasard

    As the maker of another, greater documentary remarked "The Earth and every living thing are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

  • Is it just me, or at 12:00 , do the lights from the galaxies appear to form kind of an outline of Europe?

  • Dang we are small in the universe.
