Universe
An otherworldly educational film about the beauty and austerity of interstellar space, with narration provided by the equally otherworldly William Shatner. Features some very trippy, check yer head shots, some of which are animated but bear in mind that it is high quality work w/out a hint of it being animation.
Universe
Space, the final frontier: very nice shot of camera traversing through space. (Animated?) shot of galaxy spinning. Interesting simulation of molecules zipping about inside an atom. Another (animated?) shot of a colorful galaxy spinning. Psychedelic shot of microcosmic event. Stunning shots of an exploding star pushing gas & dust clouds through galaxy.
Universe
Interesting simulation of a solar wind event, charged particles riding ray of light. Excellent, spooky nighttime shot of an aurora viewed from Earth, undulating veils of reddish-purple light flooding the sky (Northern Lights). Animation of the sun in far BG, planet Mercury crossing screen; craterous surface of Mercury, sun shining in BG. Fuzzy still of Venus. Painterly shots of star formations in Milky Way galaxy. Excellent stills of luminous dark & emission nebulae. Shots of distant galaxies, both elliptical and spiral-shaped. Excellent animation of quasar emitting vast quantity of light.
