Thor film informatics Part 17: Bifrost Bridge
The Bifröst Bridge is a magic rainbow bridge in Asgard guarded by the warrior Heimdall, the omniscent god. It's a link between all the Nine Realms of the Norse cosmos, but can be opened only if Heimdall permits it: the bridge is in fact much too powerful, and it would destroy all realms if left opened for long durations. In order to prove himself worthy of the throne of Asgard to the eyes of Odin, Loki plans to use Bifrost to completely destroy Jotunheim, and he opens it after freezing Heimdall and killing Laufey.
Heimdall's Observatory is where Heimdall watches over all of the realms and activates the Bifrost Bridge, by placing his sword into the control device. Thor destroyed the Bifrost to prevent the annihilation of the Frost Giants, resulting in the observatory crashing into the abyss. After Thor returned to Asgard with Loki and the Tesseract, he and Heimdall used the Tesseract's power to rebuild the Bifrost as well as a new observatory.
