Deep Field Premiere and Worldwide Release featuring Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir Event Date: Friday, November 16, 2018 Location: Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Event Details
On Friday, November 16, a unique film and musical experience, inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope’s iconic Deep Field image, will be screened at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The film, titled Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe, was inspired by Grammy® award-winning composer Eric Whitacre’s symphonic work Deep Field and features Hubble’s stunning imagery including brand new visualizations and fly-throughs of far-flung galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters that depict the awesome beauty of the universe.
The film paints the incredible story of the journey of discovery towards the Hubble Deep Field, an extraordinary portrait of the universe revealed by Hubble when it was pointed at a tiny, completely dark and seemingly empty patch of sky – about six days of exposure over a period of 11 days. What it revealed was an image that contained over 3,000 galaxies scattered across space and time – hundreds of billions of stars.
