Video: New 3-D Map of Universe
Astronomers have put the
known universe in a box on your computer screen – the 120 million
light-years of it within our grasp, at least.
With a mellifluous French-accented narration, some light
piano music and sweeping computer animation, the video could become a
stoner classic. It also happens to be the most detailed modern
cosmography of all that is visible in the sky – and a great deal of what
is not.
At nearly 18 minutes long, odds are it
will reach cult status among astronomers, planetarium addicts and the
cosmically inclined.
The work has been submitted to the Astronomical Journal.
