So what would it look like to travel across the universe then? To help us visualize this, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in partnership with Rubin Museum of Art has produced a modern movie titled “The Known Universe“, directed by Carter Emmart and curated by Ben R. Oppenheimer using visualization software “Uniview by SCISS” – featuring many visual highlights of such a trip.
The video starts in Earth’s Himalayan Mountains, the Tibetan Plateau and then dramatically zooms out, showing the orbits of Earth’s satellites, the Sun, the Solar System, the extent of humanities first radio signals, the Milky Way Galaxy, galaxies nearby, distant galaxies, and quasars.
As the distant surface of the microwave background is finally reached, radiation is depicted that was emitted billions of light years away and less than one million years after the Big Bang.
Watch this awesome video clip and get ready to be stunned. (You can see it in 720p HD quality too)
