Cosmic Voyage<\/strong><\/em> is a 1996 short<\/a> documentary film<\/a> produced in the IMAX<\/a> format, directed by Bayley Silleck<\/a>, produced by Jeffrey Marvin, and narrated by Morgan Freeman<\/a>. The film was presented by the Smithsonian Institution<\/a>‘s National Air and Space Museum<\/a>, and played in IMAX theaters worldwide. The film is available in the DVD<\/a> format.<\/p>\n

Cosmic Voyage<\/em> has a format similar to Eva Szasz’s Cosmic Zoom<\/em><\/a>, and Charles and Ray Eames<\/a>‘s classic Powers of Ten<\/em><\/a> educational video. All were based on the 1957 book Cosmic View<\/em><\/a> by Dutch educator Kees Boeke<\/a>. Cosmic Voyage<\/em> takes viewers on a journey through forty-two orders of magnitude<\/a>, beginning at a celebration in Venice<\/a>, Italy slowly zooming out into the edge of the observable universe<\/a>. Then the view descends back to earth, and later zooms in upon a raindrop on a leaf on a hoop used in the celebration mentioned earlier, down to the level of subatomic particles<\/a> (quarks<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition, the film offers some brief insight on the Big Bang<\/a> theory, black holes<\/a>, and the development of our Solar System<\/a>. It also simulates a journey through Fermilab<\/a>‘s Tevatron<\/a> particle accelerator<\/a> in Chicago<\/a>, where an atom collision is depicted.<\/p>\n

Cosmic Voyage<\/em> was nominated for a 1997 Academy Award<\/a> under the category of Best Documentary Short Subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n
