New IMAX Short Film Uses Hubble Images

A recent IMAX short film, "Hubble: Galaxies Across Space and Time," provides a three-minute 3-D tour of the cosmos using data and images collected by the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) project - a collaborative effort which includes observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, Spitzer Space Telescope, and a handful of ground-based observatories. The movie, which premiered in April and has already won the "Best Short Feature" award at the Large Format Cinema Association's 2004 Film Festival (Los Angeles, CA), is currently playing only in San Diego and Detroit, but will start appearing at more large format theaters across the nation in the coming months. The film was created by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI).
