Hubble on the big screen

Hubble 3DAstronauts aboard the STS-125 mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope brought along IMAX 3-D cameras. During the May 2009 mission, they documented their spacewalks. NASA, in collaboration with the IMAX Collaboration and Warner Bros. Pictures, combined this IMAX footage with Hubble photographs. The result, Hubble 3D, was released in select IMAX theaters earlier this month — March 19, to be exact.

Unfortunately, it’s not in Wisconsin yet, and it’s only in one theater in Chicago. I’m hoping it makes its way to Milwaukee soon, but if not, I guess I’ll make the trip to Chicago’s south side.

Have any of you seen Hubble 3D yet? Or are any of you planning to?
