Tour of the known Universe - awesome video

This awesome video from the American Museum of Natural History takes you on a tour of the known universe, starting with Earth and zooming out to the farthest reaches and corners of the universe that we've discovered. The video is astronomically accurate:

Every satellite, moon, planet, star and galaxy is represented to scale and in its correct, measured location according to the best scientific research to-date.

Visit Kottke for more details on the video.

I love this... this is aweseom...

Also, shows a good argument as to why if aliens do exist we haven't come into contact with them yet so many possible plannets around so many stars in so many galaxies, in such a large space

We're here pseudyx. Once you expand upon your race's limited dimensions .....

I wonder how long before school curriculum(s) in all corners of the globe, wake up and teach kids as a matter of course everything known about the universe.
