I am fascinated with space, and thought this very interesting!

Ah that Eames classic!

What was with all the "remake" remarks on YouTube? Geez, this is a nice famous bit of filmmaking.

Thanks, that was pretty cool. That music was kinda eerie though.

Heh... really cool. It would be cool if that was redone with modern ideas, like the idea that you couldn't "zoom out" and see all the galaxies. As far as we know, there is no end.

Cool video, although quite a bit out of date, especially since the advent of the Hubble telescope. It didn't zoom out to galactic clusters, megaclusters, and filaments.

While we're on the topic, here's a cool video of relative sizes of celestial bodies in our galaxy:

Wow, looks like you need to look at Microwave Background Radiation and call me in the morning.
