This video, produced by the Hayden Planetarium, is on one level a bit simple and rudimentary… it is mostly just a straightforward pullback from the Earth showing the orbits of the planets and the positions of the stars. But on another level… well, I laughed good and hard at one point. Not laughter from humor, but laughter from “holy crap that’s AWESOME.” You will too, once the “blue circle implication” settles in fully. If you don’t… well, you’re dead inside.
Be sure to watch it as full-screen and high-rez as you can.

The universe is just bloody fantastic, and science is revealing it.
