Title: A Cosmological Fantasia
Post by: watsisname on April 18, 2011, 01:10:39 am

Well if you enjoy videos depicting astronomical objects and events, I just found this one (http://vimeo.com/21914007) linked on APOD and thought it should be shared.  It's a little long (~15 minutes) and a bit slow/tedious in some parts, but still well worth the view.  The quality of the visual effects, combined with the music, is simply entrancing.

Favorite parts are the pulsar at 8:50, and the V404 Cygni (http://blackholes.stardate.org/directory/factsheet.php?p=V404-Cygni) style binary system at the end.  The pulsar especially is incredible, possibly the coolest rendition I've ever seen of one from up close.

I got almost to the end of the video, then it suddenly quit on me.  I tried to reload and was redirected to a page saying that video was password protected.

"Sorry, "A Cosmological Fantasia" was deleted at 3:04:16 Mon Apr 18, 2011. We have no more information about it on our mainframe or elsewhere. "

Too bad. Could you reupload or share on another video hosting site?

Wow, it really did just suddenly cease to exist. :/  Glad I had decided to download it from vimeo when I did.

Here it is on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_9a8OnMS4c). Quality is fairly ok.
