Superspot: "Year of Astronomy" - advertising trailer for Trekkies
2009 is the Year of Astronomy. To mark the occasion, UNESCO has launched a spherical ad designed to highlight the anniversary year and the related events taking place around the world.
Most people won't know it, but 2009 is not only the year of Darwin, but also the year of astronomy. This is because it is exactly 400 years since Galileo built his telescope and used it to see further into the stars than any man before him. Together with the International Astronomical Union, Unesco has therefore launched an advertisement that focuses on Astronomy2009.org and the events taking place locally all over the world. You can see images from the infinite depths of space, accompanied by spherical sounds. An atmospheric, perhaps somewhat long commercial, but Trekkies will like it.
