From Here to Infinity: The Ultimate Voyage

Details

Summaries

A voyage from Earth to the edge of the universe.

There are more stars in the sky than grains of sand in all the beaches and deserts of Earth. This documentary uses computer graphics and deep-space photographs to explore the 'macro' universe beyond planet Earth. Leaving Earth orbit, we pass by the outer planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto/Charon. We then pass through the Oort Cloud, reservoir of comets, which extends up to 2 light-years from the Sun. Our Sun's nearest stellar neighbors Proxima and Alpha Centauri are next, but there is probably no life there. After a discussion of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), we head for the star Geminga. Now a rapidly-spinning pulsar, about 342,000 years B.C. it was a supernova 50 light years from Earth, visible in our day sky. In the constellation Orion, Betelgeuse may become a supernova soon. We see new stars being born in the Orion "star nursery" nebula. Moving on to the center of our galaxy, we enter a worm hole to the Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda, along with our Milky Way, is a part of the Local Group of galaxies. There is evidence of a Great Attractor whose gravity is pulling on every galaxy within 200 million light-years. Among the galactic groups are enormous empty voids. Our voyage of the imagination ends at the Great Wall of Galaxies at 325 million light-years, the biggest thing in all the universe (so far).—yortsnave

How many nights have you gazed at the starry sky and longed to rocket across the universe? From Here to Infinity is your ticket to interstellar adventure. Using advanced computer graphics and audio technology, filmmakers Bob Goodman and Don Barrett have fashioned an extraordinary sight-and-sound experience that takes you on a "starship of the imagination" through the cosmos--and beyond. Patrick Stewart, Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard, is your guide as you visit the planets, witness a supernova, descend through a black hole, and come face to face with the largest structure in the universe: a great wall of galaxies 325,000,000 light years across!—Robert Lynch <[email protected]>
