It really puts things into perspective. It's incredible just how tiny we are, and what there is out there.

The film is brilliant, and it shows "everything" we currently know (which is a huge amount, but still very little).

It gives some ideas of scale of the universe - I found it really interesting anyway

Fantastic video. A perfect distraction from my essay I should be writing.

The astronomer in me screams out at some rather dodgy things in that video..

 

[furie]

[tks]

Nah, I've moved on to making piss-poor and obvious jokes about Ryanair and Mushroom instead - but thanks for the offer Ed

That's like, sooo depressing . And the thought of the universe gives me a headache.. That being no exception.

Cool find, Furieeee!

Wow great video. Shows you how massive space is and what we've yet to discover. Hard to belive we're just living on a tiny ball floating in the middle of something that massive.

Incredible.

It was the 'zoom' back was the powerful thing to me. It really put it into perspective.

Stunning video, good find furie.

Similar to this, but this argues a slightly different point:

I love how insignificant it makes one feel.

This is relevent to my interests! I love space in all it's creepy and terrifying glory!

People who know me will possibly understand some of my opinions on life now.

Ahh.. the video I was looking for Hixee posted. I love that one.

It's amazing how small our planet is in the grand scheme of things.

It's a bit like the Total Perspective Vortex...

You're all so depressing! :lol:

It's very impressive yes, and thanks for posting it furie I really enjoyed it! But it doesn't make me feel small and insignificant.

I'm far too tall and loud to ever think that.

Ben also amuses with Monty Python and the epic fridge song

A great way to start my Friday, cheers guys

I love stuff like this. I only wish I could see it all myself.

^Good luck with that

I do agree though, it's mind bogglingly spectacular.
