An Astrovizicist’s Guide to the Film ‘Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of Our Universe’
Frank Summers of the Space Telescope Science Institute
In November 2018, composer Eric Whitacre’s Hubble-inspired symphony “Deep Field” was released as a film accompanied by NASA images and scientific visualizations from the night sky to the edge of the observable universe. The Space Telescope Science Institute provided 11 sequences that not only depict the awesome beauty of the universe, but also express the three-dimensional nature of celestial objects. Dr. Summers, who served as the visualization lead on the project, will provide a behind-the-scenes view of the science and art in this unique cinematic and symphonic experience.
