...process,” he says. With a Fulbright Scholarship secured for the filming of a feature-length documentary in Siberia next year, Berman has ensured that he will have the opportunity to bring that hands-on approach to a future project even more ambitious than his science fiction supernova romance...
...brought this viewer-centric ideal to his thesis film, looking for something that would have immediate impact. “To really connect with people now you have to show them something they’ve never seen before,” he says. He found just that with supernova simulations from the University of Chicago’s center for Advanced Simulation and Computing. Using these simulations and other cutting-edge graphics available in the public domain—3-D models of space stations from NASA, for instance—he and his brother Benjamin S. Berman...
Mendler is following a path to fame the channel has mapped over the past three years as it has launched serial stars into orbit: the supernova Miley Cyrus in 2006, Selena Gomez in 2007, the Jonas Brothers in 2008 and Demi Lovato this year. (See pictures of Disney stars throughout the years...
...trickiness of light: "Kepler's supernova is 13,000 light-years away and is the most recently observed supernova in our galaxy. At the time, Kepler's supernova shone almost as brightly as Venus for several weeks. The bright light that those first observers recorded had traveled for 13,000 years to reach them. The light from Venus, however, takes only a few minutes to reach us.
