Armchair Astronaut: Tour Interstellar Space Without Leaving Home

The end of the year is a good time for pondering the big questions in life, like where did I come from and why am I here and when is Santa going to bring a massive dump of 5% powder? In that spirit, here’s a wonderful video from the American Museum of Natural History that takes you on a tour of the known universe. Talk about an adventure. And never thought an animated video could make you homesick, but by the time you’re on the edge of the universal boundary, you’re ready to get back to the tiny blue marble we call earth, stat. When it comes into view again, you’re stoked–and marveling at the almost incomprehensible scale in which we live.


Thanks to Doug Schnitzspahn of Elevation Outdoors for the tip.
