In keeping with the film’s four chapters, invite students to ponder the notion of the invisible through these questions: How can we describe mystery and wonder? How can we explore the great and the small in the universe from a scientific, empirical, artistic and philosophical point of view? Where do we situate the individual in the cosmos? Hubert Reeves’s writings, which inspired the director, would complement this activity nicely.
