“50 years after the moon landing, Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre presents “Deep Field,” a powerful new piece of music inspired by the world’s most famous space observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and its greatest discovery, the iconic Deep Field image. The new film illuminates the score by combining Hubble’s stunning imagery with bespoke animations to create an immersive, unforgettable journey from planet Earth to the furthest edges of our universe. Eric is joined by NASA’s Dr. Michelle Thaller and STScI’s Dr. Frank Summers to delve into space exploration as not only a scientific venture but an artistic and cultural one as well.”
