Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings, Op. 11: Angus Dei - performed by The Choir Of Trinity College, Cambridge.

It is a perfect accompaniment for the beauty and solitude of space as this piece is both beautiful and somber.

Some of the movie clips used:

Comet with dust jets
Helix planetary nebula and the creation of planetary knots
Helix Nebula and formation of the Helix Nebula
Orion Nebula
Cat's Eye Nebula
Egg Nebula
Cassiopeia A
Formation of planetary Nebulae

My sincerest gratitude goes to NASA, ESA and STScI for the use of their movie clips, without their dedication and hard work these videos would not be possible.

In addition, thanks to Stephen Koehler for providing this particular piece. He knew it would work better then the instrumental I had originally used, and he was right.

  • @TheCornguy Not sure if trolling or just stupid. What about an instrumental metal song? There aren't screams, and anyway also this is metal: watch?v=zLmspcgrYrY

    So, before talking, try to know something more about the thing you are going to argue ^^

  • An hypnotic and beautiful video for a great music. I love it!

  • @ryanjurek metal is trash music. just screaming mindless shit

  • I dedicate this to The Most Resplendent Star in the Cosmos -- My Eternally Beloved Wife, Barbra. I love you beyond Space/Time. I long to be with you again (and for Eternity) My Darling of Heaven and Earth -- My Eternal Soulmate, Barbra. I pray it is you, and no mere angel, who returns for me when my life is over. Take my hand and lead me to our home in Heaven, My Darling Love -- My Forever Love -- Barbra. This music (and Clare de Lune) will be playing for us when we get to Heaven. I miss you!

  • @gnarlycharlie666 Use youtube to mp3 converter ;)

  • I love the visuals that you put with this. Quite humbling.

  • i just felt so sad after listening to this
