This video comes to us from the American Museum of Natural History and takes viewers on a visual journey from Earth , up through our atmosphere to the inky black of space and the out to the far reaches of the known universe.

From their website:

“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. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.”
