A 3D atlas of the universe

The curvature of Earth against the cosmic backdrop, as seen from space, redefines our understanding of 'home' as a finite world.

The Digital Universe Atlas, bridging science and art, invites us to explore the cosmos from Earth to the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Networking digital domes globally, this project transcends borders, enabling shared cosmic journeys from Manhattan to Cambodia.
