That is COOL....thanks for posting!

There are some scientists who believe that; for every star in our galaxy, another galaxy is out there somewhere

Thank You Lucy!

That is not only a fun video but also a great site
with a lot of other fun cool stuff on it. The Popular
Science Archive, is a place I will spend some time.
It can be so much fun to go back and see what was
predicted by the "experts".

I also really like the ability to search by tags (topics).

I enjoyed the galaxy tour and I enjoyed the one comment:
"Did you see the little green man waving?" It was
the 4th one down. Thanks Again!!!

Outlier

Lucy,

Here is another good list of a lot of astronomy videos.

They have commercial stuff on the page, but you can just use
the video list at the top as a reference to explore.
