I always did like these sorts of presentations and I'm always struck by the way the music influences the inherent wonder and awe at the information conveyed. I hadn't seen this before and the relative information was new and very interesting, particularly the sizes of the comets and smaller celestial bodies in human terms

I vaguely remember those videos! Morgan Freeman can add a power of awesome to anything he narrates. :D I remember that cartoon too. Breathed can always make something wry even out of our cosmic insignificance. XD

Oh yeah, this is reminding me of the Imax film I saw about something similar. Amazingly powerful. I can't imagine you in particular not having seen it, but if you haven't, make sure you do somehow!

Pretty nifty! I am also reminded of the Powers of Ten. :)
