Whats up all,
I remember seeing (I believe on one of those "info channels" like discovery, science, etc) a short that was about taking a tour through the universe.
It has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It started with our solar system, then the galaxy, then our galaxy cluster, eventually to superclusters and beyond.
I've scoured all sorts of places in trying to find somewhere that I can download it (Its not all that long, maybe 4 minutes or so), but I can't seem to get it anywhere. Any tips?
It was really well done, clean and facinating to look at. Someone here gotta know where I can find it! Help!
Thank you for the link, VERY informative!
For anyone else interested in what I was talking about, it was a short computer animated film, maybe a few minutes long. It was amazingly done, and I would love to get my hands on it.
Any other leads would be much appreciated!
Did you check out the links on the pages themselves, one will take you to a pbs site, I believe the films you want are there.

This is the site I believe you were looking for. It is a lot of fun to look at.
Thats not it, but its damn cool nonetheless!
Jeez, after seeing that, it sure seems like humans are rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things
