We Are Nothing But A Small Blip Here On Earth
The Known Universe from the Hayden Planetarium
The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.
This video has been floating around the last few month, pardon my tend and thought that it should land here for all our readers to enjoy and make wonder. It should get many more hits then it does, so I am giving it another shot by us.

If you look really close at the very beginning of the video you’ll see me standing there having a cigarette on the Himalayan Mountains.
