Cosmos in Focus brings the universe to FOS Future Lab

Launched in 2021, the JWST has revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos. Its ability to capture high-resolution images of celestial phenomena — think swirling galaxies, glowing nebulae, and distant exoplanets — has not only advanced scientific research but also inspired awe across the globe.

There has been a surge in searches for “James Webb Space Telescope images” and “space exploration” in 2025, reflecting our growing fascination with the universe. Cosmos in Focus taps into this curiosity, offering an accessible yet profound way to experience these cosmic wonders.

Atlantic Studios, renowned for collaborations with figures like Sir David Attenborough, has a history of pushing storytelling boundaries. Their work, seen in over 150 countries, includes award-winning films like The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest and the groundbreaking VR experience Galapagos with David Attenborough. 

Partnering with the University of Sussex, a hub for astrophysical research, they’ve crafted a film that’s both visually stunning and intellectually enriching. Featuring insights from NASA and European Space Agency scientists, Cosmos in Focus decodes the JWST’s imagery, revealing secrets about the universe’s origins and our place within it.

FOS Future Lab presented by Randox is the perfect stage for Cosmos in Focus, where you’ll also find cutting-edge technology from electric hypercars to AI innovations. This year, visitors can don the Apple Vision Pro — a mixed-reality headset praised for its immersive capabilities — to embark on a journey through space. 

The Apple Vision Pro offers unparalleled visual clarity and interactivity. Its mixed-reality capabilities make you feel like an astronaut, placing you inside the universe, surrounded by high-resolution JWST imagery. You’ll soar past glittering star clusters, peer into the hearts of nebulae and uncover the science behind these cosmic spectacles.

The film’s educational potential is immense. By blending art and technology, it offers a glimpse into how immersive storytelling can inspire future generations of scientists and explorers. Schools and institutions could adopt similar experiences to spark interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. At FOS Future Lab, Cosmos in Focus is a portal to the universe, inviting everyone from curious kids to seasoned stargazers to explore the final frontier.

Atlantic Studios’ expertise in immersive storytelling, combined with the University of Sussex’s scientific rigour creates an experience that’s both awe-inspiring and grounded in fact. The film addresses timely questions about our universe — how it formed, what it holds and how we can protect our planet from cosmic threats like 2024 YR4. 

Cosmos in Focus will be exhibited at FOS Future Lab this summer, where you’ll find us at the heart of the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Whether you’re a space enthusiast or simply curious about the stars, this experience will help you feel like an astronaut all without leaving Earth, and you might even bump into FOS Future Lab ambassador Sir Tim Peake trying it out for himself.
