We are astronomers
On a recent visit with my kids to the Leicester Space Museum, we all watched, and were very impressed by an animated film they made and show there called “We are Astronomers“. I can heartily recommend seeing it because it is a truly remarkable film, dealing with us, space, the vastness of the universe and the people who work all this stuff out and explain it to us. It’s shown in a 360° domed theatre, so your seat tilts back like a dentists chair. Not surprisingly the trailer doesn’t do justice to the experience of seeing it live.
The state of the internet
Another film of a different kind, but still pretty remarkable for the size of the data that generated it is, The state of the Internet by Jesse Thomas. I had the same kind of feeling watching this because we are all, through the use of the internet, generating astronomical numbers of pages, sites, emails and tweets.
