About
What if you put a team of astronomers and a class of animation students together to try to explain the mysteries of the universe? Since 2013, NASA scientists have worked with Maryland Institute College of Art students to produce a series of animations based on research that includes black holes, pulsars, dark matter and more.
The animations are available for non-commercial use, providing attribution is given, and no distribution of modified versions is allowed. CC BY-NC-ND
