Neil deGrasse Tyson, who narrates Dark Universe, is an astrophysicist, prolific science communicator, and the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium.
Dark Universe celebrates the pivotal discoveries that have led us to greater knowledge of the structure and history of the universe and our place in it—and to new frontiers for exploration.
One of the scenes in the new Space Show, Dark Universe takes brings viewers along for a 106,000 mile-an-hour descent into Jupiter’s atmosphere with the Galileo probe—an action-packed visualization created by scientists and artists working closely to make sure that every detail, from the probe’s rotation speed to the color of the Jovian atmosphere to the instruments on the probe’s exterior were scientifically accurate.
