[FOTZeiss] Video: New 3-D Map of Universe

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.
