Something Wonderful: The Known Universe

"The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History."

Why not? MSNBC freely borrows from Iran's PressTV and bashes al Jazeera for not getting anti American ample.
