A Cosmological Fantasia
Well if you enjoy videos depicting astronomical objects and events, I just found this one 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 style binary system at the end.  The pulsar especially is incredible, possibly the coolest rendition I've ever seen of one from up close.
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

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.

Too bad. Could you reupload or share on another video hosting site?
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

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. Quality is fairly ok.
