American Museum of Natural History: The Known Universe

by thecodepounder on December 28, 2009 at 11:11am

This film shows the known universe as mapped through astronomical observations.

Every satellite, moon, planet, star and galaxy is represented to scale and in its correct, measured location according to the best scientific research to-date.

The data is maintained and curated by research astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History as the Digital Universe Atlas.

Impressive. Most impressive.
