L’Universo conosciuto
Un viaggio incredibile che parte dalle vette dell’Himalaya, attraversando la nostra atmosfera fino ad arrivare nella profondità dello spazio, dove ogni stella, ogni pianeta e quasar sono riprodotti in questo film attraverso una mappa dettagliata, completa e a quattro dimensioni dell’universo, a cura dell’American Museum of Natural History. Lo straordinario filmato fa parte di una mostra intitolata “Visioni del Cosmo – Dall’oceano della Via Lattea all’espansione dell’Universo”, tenutasi al Rubin Museum of Art, a Manhattan, nel maggio del 2010.
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.
