From Earth to the Edge of the Universe (4K simulation)
301It is on a blue spec that we all live upon. Most of us never leave, and can only wonder at the cosmos. Distances and sizes beyond comprehension, humanity's thin veil flies through these distances. While the outreaches of space are of a size unthinkable, there are billions of stars that fill them. Our life-giver is one of those billion, and a small rock that falls around it is what we all call home.
This is a representation of what it could look like to travel from the surface of the earth to the outreaches of the universe in about 4 minutes. Every star within our galaxy and every galaxy displayed are real stars and galaxies that have been cataloged. Distances are to a size that is accurate to real life. At the end of the video, the sky above earth lights up with all of the known objects above earth being displayed, primarily distant galaxies we don't normally see.
This was created using Space Engine, which is a free, and continuously developed universe simulator. It's very cool, and can actually generate a universe much bigger than our own.
