Our universe is more than a serene landscape of stars – it is teeming with activity from some extremely violent events. 

In a presentation at the IMAX theatre at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. on September 30, scientists take us inside our violent universe with stunning visuals from NASA satellites.
