Mapping the Universe

[9814279]塔利电影艺术基金会正在制作一部科学纪录片，以一种公众可以接受的形式，准确地呈现宇宙的局部。虽然在过去的20年里，我们对宇宙网络结构的了解一直在迅速增长，但向公众传达这些信息的尝试只是初步的，因为技术上的复杂性使得创造一个外行人可以理解的准确显示成为一项挑战。新技术的进步大大缓解了这个问题。该系列的高分辨率动画是由国家超级计算应用中心制作的。这部黄金时段的电视连续剧将以高清电视制作，并将作为美国公共广播公司NOVA系列的一部分播出。波士顿科学博物馆正在开发供观众和学校使用的辅助材料。其他项目元素将包括一套半小时的节目，名为“宇宙中发生了什么”，面向年轻观众。这个系列从发现地球的特性开始，然后逐步向外扩展，直到第六个节目向观众介绍宇宙的规模。一份纸质和CD-ROM的《邻近宇宙地图集》提供了获取重要信息和宇宙视图的便捷途径，并允许用户从绘制的空间飞行索引中进行选择。

9814279Tully The Film Arts Foundation is producing a science documentary film to present accurate renditions of the local part of the Universe in a form accessible to the public. While work on our knowledge of the network structure of the universe has been rapidly growing over the past 20 years, there have been only rudimentary attempts to convey this information to the public because of the technical complexities that have made it a challenge to create an accurate display that is understandable by the lay person. New technological advances have greatly allieviated that problem. The high resolution animation in the series is being created by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. This prime-time television series will be produced in high-definition television and will be broadcast as part of the NOVA series on PBS. Ancillary material for use by viewers and schools is being developed by the Museum of Science in Boston. Additional project elements will include a set of half-hour programs called "What's Up in the Universe" for younger viewers. This series begins with discoveries of the properties of the Earth, then steps outward progressively until by the sixth program the audience is introduced to the scale of the universe. A paper and CD-ROM Atlas of the Nearby Universe provides easy access to important information and views of the universe and will allow users to choose from an index of rendered flights through space.
