NEW IMAX MOVIE HIGHLIGHTS NASA JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE

IMAX JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE MOVIE

This looks like a movie I'd like to see on the Michigan Science Center's IMAX Dome Theatre. The theatre has recently been renovated with 239 brand- new, custom-designed seats featuring FreeForm Trim technology generously designed and donated by automotive supplier Magna. The Science Center's 3-story-high dome is a great spot to immerse yourself in an IMAX film. 

DEEP SKY is a new documentary about NASA’s Webb Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope JWST). The 40-minute short film is narrated by Oscar®-nominated actress Michelle Williams, and is currently slated for release across IMAX’s institutional theater network in October 2023. DEEP SKY is written, produced and directed by Nathaniel Kahn. IMAX co-financed the film with major funding provided by the Northrop Grumman Foundation.

DEEP SKY goes behind the scenes of JWST, capturing its launch and the release of the mind blowing first full-color images from space pictured by the telescope. The film is a thrilling story that begins during the telescope’s construction, following it to the harrowing launch stage, and through the release of the first full-color images to the public on July 12, 2022.

“If there ever was a subject tailor-made for IMAX screens, this is it,” Director Nathaniel Kahn commented to ageekdaddy.com. “The IMAX format allows you to appreciate the astonishing resolution of NASA’s new telescope and to immerse yourself in cosmic landscapes that leave you filled with awe.”
