Black Holes:  The Other Side of Infinity

Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity is a production of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  From the press release:  “This stunning show brings viewers along on a thrilling ride to the inside of a supermassive black hole. This is made possible by a unique software program created by the show’s science director and University of Colorado astrophysics professor Dr. Andrew J.S. Hamilton. His Black Hole Flight Simulator transforms real scientific data about black holes into stunning, colorful visualizations. “When people come to see Black Holes, they’re not just looking at pretty images. They’re looking at Einstein’s equations visualized,” said Hamilton. “Numerous TV shows and Hollywood movies have depicted artists’ impressions of what it might look like to fall into a black hole. The Black Hole Flight Simulator delivers the real experience—at least if Einstein’s theory of general relativity is correct. But be warned: don’t expect it to look like anything you’ve seen before.”

Hubble Vision 2

Hubble Vision 2

From the  Hubble Vision 2 website:  “Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided incredible images in unprecedented detail to astronomers, and made an astonishing array of discoveries — from nearby objects in the solar system to the most distant galaxies at limits of the observable universe.  We’ve taken the best and most exciting Hubble images and woven them into an engaging story of cosmic exploration, bringing the wonders of the universe to audiences everywhere. HUBBLE Vision 2 is a fascinating tour of the cosmos — from Earth orbit.”

Hubble Vision 2 and Season of Light were developed by Loch Ness Productions
