The Known Universe - Best Video

Dear students,

this is a beautiful piece...developed by American Museum of Natural History. I got this video from Huffington post. The Milky Way is just a speck of dust in the universe....


About this film:
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.
....... 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.
