Unseen Universe | Planetarium Showcase
This exciting look into cutting-edge astronomy features the Event Horizon Telescope and the first image of a black hole ever captured, exploring the Universe far beyond our human senses. For millions of years, our view of the heavens has been limited by our eyes, allowing us to see only a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation we call visible light. For the first time, in the greatest breakthrough since the invention of the telescope, we now have the technology to capture the Universe over an amazing width of the spectrum and beyond. We can even interlink telescopes around the world to capture data on a global scale. Unseen Universe offers a stunning visual treat as we explore the latest wonders of the heavens to a stirring score performed by the Utah Film Orchestra. It is an uplifting look at the new era of astronomy and what lies ahead. Unseen Universe makes what was once thought to be unseeable, seeable.
