The American Museum
of Natural History has produced a new film The Known Universe that is a companion piece to a current exhibit called Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, currently at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City. The film, embedded above, is a sort of universal fly-over, that begins at the Himalayas, and ends with the Big Bang's "afterglow." It's all data-driven, too, based on the four-dimensional Digital Universe Atlas, maintained by astrophysicists at The Hayden Planetarium, part of the American Museum of Natural History.
