Show Description

Follow a photon of light across the galaxy and into the eye of a young stargazer.

Once inside the eye, the audience will explore how the human eye works before taking a ride on the optic nerve.

Images of people, wildlife, landscapes, and outer space from around the globe tell the story of the photon's journey before we ‘see’ the image ourselves.

Narrated by Neil Tyson
