Phew!
That's all I can say. Thanks for posting this Andy.
Also this:-
Carl Sagan
Nobody conveyed the greatness of the universe better than Carl Sagan. He gave you the facts, but always put them in terms that everybody can understand.
Carl Sagan drinking game
One for the Cosmos DVD boxed set - one drink every time he utters the word "billions". Was "pleasantly refreshed" after only one episode (then fell asleep for the rest...)
Excellent videos - thanks.
Wow, that does make me feel small...
..or it would if I wasn't so fucking great.

Makes you think, dunnit ?
Seeing that makes me even more sure that it is utterly inconceivable that we are the only planet out there with life. It can only be a matter of distance and time.
Ooops, that was bit serious. Back to Florence And The Machine being crap.
It makes me think of the poem 'Mattina' by Giuseppe Ungaretti...

That was wonderful... thanks for drawing our attention to it.

Thank you

Sod...
off.
Astonishing. Humbling.
Much better without Muse. ;-)
Seriously, though, if there is a single person on the planet who could watch that and not feel awestruck by the majesty of the universe and the enormously liberating knowledge of their own infinitesimal tininess... well, there's no hope for those folk.
Absolutely wonderful stuff.
How about....
