The scale of the Universe might seem too big to grasp, what does the Universe even look like? What do you picture when you hear that word? Galaxies? Stars? Empty space? It can all seem so endless and overwhelming, so I made this video to try and fix that. This is a journey to the edge of the Universe and back, in a way that you hopefully don't lose all sense of scale. All to find an image of the Universe that's simple, relatable and you can even hold in your hands. So I used cereal! If anyone would like to support this project of mine further I've just setup a Patreon account where I'll be posting ideas, updates, behind the scenes and early access as I work on the next videos. One day I hope to be making these full time and much more regularly so any support is greatly appreciated: https://www.patreon.com/epicspaceman For those looking for a little more detail before embarking on this adventure, this video is a close look at our neighbourhood of the Universe, called The Local Group and my pitch that it's the most logical image of the Universe on a grand scale that we have. The Local Group can still be a little overwhelming and the images out there of it are a little uninspiring, so I've tried to make it as simple as possible while still maintaining accuracy and scale. So! Step one of exploring the Universe is to turn all the galaxies into cereal, if you're going on a long trip, you're going to need snacks... P.S. I should probably mention a couple of limitations of the video and it's depiction of the Universe. While I've gone to great lengths to make the exact positions and sizes of the galaxies in The Local Group correct. The rest of the visible Universe, while accurate in size has a great many more galaxies than I've shown, partly because my computer would explode if I tried to simulate the hundreds of Billions of galaxies in the visible Universe! I've only got around 300,000 here as I recall. Also, the spread of galaxies in the Universe is a bit more uniform at full scale too than mine I believe. For the camera moves I've used most of these galaxies would be too small to see but it's probably best to mention this is more of an artistic simulation beyond the galaxies of The Local Group. There to emphasise the clumps and threads of the spread of galaxies.
