The Universe in 3D

[DesDownunder]

Bigger than all of us, here is a view of our universe hosted by a man (with long hair) who seems to have transcended the usual limitations of his discipline and cultures.

For the last 12 years, Carter Emmart has been coordinating the efforts of scientists, artists and programmers to build a complete 3D visualization of our known universe. He demos this stunning tour and explains how it's being shared with facilities around the world.

"My job is to translate the difficulty of science into understandable stories." -Carter Emmart (his bio)
