Enjoy this fun and scientifically-accurate musical number/space shanty from a photon exploring the cosmos! It's the Cosmological Space Shanty you didn't realize you needed to listen to. Learn about the history of the universe from a photon who's seen it all on its journey from the Cosmic Microwave Background. From a second after the big bang, through recombination, galaxy and star formation, through supernovae and new star births, to planets forming, to its detection by the South Pole Telescope, learn about cosmology in this original song. A fun Soprano Original Song.
The voice of the CMB Photon is the amazing and talented Shea Lee! Shea is a graduate of Northwestern University and is a professional actress who specializes in musical theatre and theatre for young audiences. Shea is represented by Shirley Hamilton Talent.
