The best thing I've ever seen on youtube, and indeed the best thing I've seen in years. I'd love everyone on Earth to see this, or something like it, to truly understand the magnitude of the Universe and our place in it.

Very nice

But it also made me feel a little dizzy, like being sucked into some dark space in the universe.

I'm a born again christian and you all are going to burn in hell for believing all that "known universe" gibberish. God created the universe as we know it with the flat earth in the middle of the solar system.
