The Known Universe

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.

Viewing this video, it seems to me that Earth is like a needle in a haystack, so well hidden that, if there were aliens in the Universe (and they are up to no good), it might be a while before they find us, if ever.
