Just been watching this documentary, with Bob Fosbury, Bob Fosbury, Bob Fosbury.
Casual investigation does not reveal clips of it on YouTube for those who can't play the documentary at that link.
I'll post this clip instead:

A short episode.”Sorry, this programme is not available to watch again. “
Beautiful images in the clip, the symmetry in some of them is astonishing.Watching the documentary now.
The time limit, unfortunately, must have ran out. I wonder if someone will put it on YouTube. I found it very informative.Deep space reminds me of the deep sea. Nebulae look like weird jellyfish. I have fanciful ideas about entities that are composed of stars in the same way that we are, apparently, composed of cells.
