Seeing Beyond the Human Eye

via futurejournalismproject:

From slow motion to stop motion, from photomicrography to astrophotography, PBS takes a look at what can be seen beyond the naked eye.

Do, do, do yourself a favor and watch this fullscreen.

Technology defies the boundaries of human perception. From photomicrography to astrophotography, size and distance are no longer barriers, and through slow-mo and timelapse, we are allowed to see time and humanity in a new light. Through our curiosity and thirst for the unknown, the beauty of the universe can now be explored beyond the limits of the naked eye.
