Hidden Universe:
Take an extraordinary journey deep into space in the cinematic medium that transports audiences like no other. Mesmerizing, high-resolution images from space allow moviegoers to explore the

earliest galaxies and travel the terrain of Mars; witness images of distant celestial structures including stunning new views of the Sun; and peer deep inside the universe’s most mysterious

nebulae where stars are born. Seen for the first time on the giant IMAX screen, these dramatic new images offer fresh insight into the origins and evolution of the universe. Narrated by Miranda

Richardson. (http://www.thetech.org/imax/presentations)
