The Known Universe by AMNH #datavisualization

The American Museum of Natural History presents a scale visualization of the known universe, flying from the Himalayas to the edge of the observable universe.

*UPDATED FOR 2023* You can now fly through the known universe in immersive 360 video here: youtu.be/N79TowJOHHE 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 film, created by the Museum, was part of a 2010 exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan.
