It's hard not to get a lump in your throat watching that sort of video (yeah I'm a woose).
Helps put the human experience in perspective.

Nice find Suzy.

I have shown this clip to several non astronomy friends in the past to give
a scale to things , the clip its self has been doing the rounds for quite
some time now. It is inspiring to say the least.

Great stuff, I've seen it a few times.
The view of Orion doing a circumpolar type rotation puzzles me.
I first thought, where in the world would you see Orion's belt
do that, seeing as how the belt is nearly Declination zero?
If you were at the north pole, wouldn't Orion sort of just circle the
horizon 360 degrees? Where do you get circiumpolar type time
lapse of the belt? Or rather, how fat north would you have to
go to see this, it's obviously a genuine time lapse...

Steve,
I think it was a computer animation not an actual time lapse hence the impossible rotation of Orion.

Hi jjj, and Suzy,

Great stuff. I am puzzled by one thing. Towards the end of the video the narrator makes a statement, "This is a picture of 47 billion light-years."
Why is this so? My sources reflect the age of the known Universe to be about 13.75 billion years.

Is the statement a mistake? Am I missing something?

Cheers Marty
