Songs of a Distant Earth

To any Mike Oldfield fans,out there,in Ice In Space;
Type "Songs of a Distant Earth"into youtube.com & enjoy.
There are 7 parts,going for around 8 minutes each,
features brilliant NASA footage,as well as lots of fantanstic space graphics.
Part 1 includes a white dwarf(i THINK)orbiting a red giant star & the white dwarf is pulling matter from the red giant,towards it!
There is also a fly-over what looks like possibly Venus or Mars?
PS There is a Fred Watson Lecture,on future telescopes,@Maquarie Uni,this Saturday,the 18th of August,2007
