The film "The Known Universe" takes viewers from the Himalayas to the Big Bang's afterglow, featuring stars, planets, and quasars. This immersive journey is made possible by the Digital Universe Atlas, the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the cosmos.

Maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the Atlas underpins the film, which was also created by the Museum. "The Known Universe" was part of the 2010 "Visions of the Cosmos" exhibition at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan.
