The Stanford 3-D Origins of the Universe Videos are Out of This World
Physicists at the Stanford University Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) have attempted to answer some of the mysteries of the galaxy in their dynamic 3-D Origins of the Universe videos.
The full-color, high-definition shorts are mere minutes long, but in that brief time they reveal truths about dark matter, the first stars and supernovas in a magnificently surreal way.
While the projections are beautiful to look at, they were developed with the main purpose of putting together massive amounts of computer data in a meaningful way to better understand how the world has evolved since The Big Bang. Seeing the data come together in a visual manner is a major advancement and will enable scientists to study these cosmic phenomena in a more intensive and interactive way.
The Stanford 3-D Origins of the Universe videos are available for public viewing in planetariums in New York City and San Francisco.
