Cosmic Voyage

Thank you!~: Shari









Cosmic Voyage is a 1996 short documentary produced in the IMAX format, narrated by Morgan Freeman..

The film takes viewers on a journey through forty-two orders of magnitude, beginning at a celebration in Italy to zoom to the outer limit of human visibility. The view descends back to earth, and later zooms in upon a raindrop on a leaf, to the level of sub-atomic particles ("quarks").the film is truly fascinating with great graphics..

In addition, the film offers some brief insight on the Big Bang Theory, black holes, and the development of our Solar System. It also simulates a journey through Fermilab's Tevatron particle accelerator in Chicago, where an atom collision is depicted..

Cosmic Voyage was nominated for a 1997 Oscar Award under the category of Best Documentary Short Subject..
