The Astronomy Picture of the Day is one of my favorite websites to visit daily (besides Dilbert and VizWorld, of course). Today they have a video showing what it would be like to travel across the known universe. The video starts at the Himalaya mountains, ascends through our atmosphere showing our planet Earth. The journey continues by taking us out of the solar system, out to the furthest reaches of the universe that we have mapped, and then takes us back home again. It is truly There and Back Again and is spectacular. The film was developed by the American Museum of Natural History.
The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.
