Eric Whitacre's
"Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe"
is a unique film and musical experience
inspired by one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time:
the Hubble Telescope's Deep Field image."

I have a small story about the Hubble--
While taking college university courses,
for my science electives, I took every class in astro-physics for NON-math majors. We had to 'identify' formulas and what they were used for, and not be required to do-the-math.
The professor I had during those years had written the textbook we used.
He left the University on an invitation to go work on the Hubble Telescope.
Those (for me) were the years just before Chiron was discovered in November 1977. After Chiron's discovery, a whole new idea of space was being revealed.
