Synopsis

A poet looks at her father, an engineer for the Hubble Telescope, and sees our human hunger to know the universe.

“My God, It’s Full Of Stars”, poem written and performed by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy K. Smith, is transformed into stop motion animation with cosmic and human imagery handcrafted with paints and liquids on glass and optical distortions.

It's the second episode in the animated series of The Universe In Verse, a celebration of the wonder of reality with stories of science told through poetry, a project by Maria Popova (themarginalian.org) with On Being.
