The One Sky Project, led by the \u2018Imiloa Astronomy Center and sponsored by the Thirty Meter Telescope, has produced a series of short fulldome films and a compiled full-length feature film focusing on cultural and Indigenous astronomy. This international collaboration seeks to build cross-cultural connections and increase understanding of different indigenous perspectives while demonstrating how our one sky connects us all.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Voyager: The Never Ending Journey\" - In 1977 two space probes were launched to explore the farthest planets of the Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune along with their moons. These spacecraft greatly enriched our knowledge of the distant worlds. Now, after four decades, they explore interstellar space like two bottles launched into a cosmic ocean, carrying \"The Golden Record\" an interstellar message intended for any alien civilization.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Faster Than Light: The Dream of Interstellar Flight\" explores the longstanding quest to develop spacecraft with enough power and speed to reach the stars. The film asks: What will it take to reach a newly discovered planet circling our Sun\u2019s nearest neighbour, Proxima Centauri? <\/span><\/p>\n

Based on real science and engineering, \u201cFaster Than Light\u201d takes audiences on a thrilling journey into the future, aboard laser-driven space sails, antimatter engines, and even warp drive \u2013 right out of science fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Narrated by actor Sean Bean, this show is suitable for ages 5 and up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Unveiling the Invisible Universe\" For thousands of years humans observed the light coming from the night sky with their eyes. In the beginning of the 17th century, the invention of the telescope by Galileo revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. Finally, in the 20th century with the advent of rockets, it became possible to go above the earth\u2019s atmosphere and observe X-ray and gamma ray radiation which are the marks of the hot and violent Universe. But it is not only light that can give us information about the cosmos. Neutrinos and cosmic rays also provide vital information. Finally, the detection by the LIGO experiment of gravitational waves from two merging black holes opened a new window in astrophysics. This video presents images of the cosmos as revealed by all these different messengers<\/span><\/p>\n

Running time: 29 minutes. Suitable for family audiences ages 5 and up.<\/span><\/p>\n
