“Deep Sky,” a New IMAX Original Documentary
on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

Debuts at Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum
Oct. 20 at the Airbus IMAX Theater

Viewers can embark on a breathtaking journey when Deep Sky opens Oct. 20 in IMAX at the Airbus IMAX Theater at the National Air and Space Museum’s Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The documentary brings the awe-inspiring images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to IMAX—taking audiences on a journey to the beginning of time and space, to never-before-seen cosmic landscapes and to recently discovered exoplanets, planets around other stars.

Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by Academy Award-nominated actress Michelle Williams, Deep Sky follows the high-stakes global mission to build JWST and to launch it into orbit 1 million miles from Earth in an attempt to answer questions that have haunted humans since the beginning of time: Where did we come from? How did the universe begin? Are we alone? Deep Sky reveals the universe, 13 million years in the making, as people have never seen it before, immersing audiences in the stunning pictures beamed back to Earth by NASA’s new telescope—and capturing their vast beauty at a scale that can only be experienced on the giant IMAX screen.
