  Quote

National Archives and Records Administration - ARC 1257658, LI 255-HQ-220 - UNIVERSE - DVD Copied by Nick Stoller. Series: Headquarters' Films Relating to Aeronautics, compiled 1962 - 1981. This film shows a mysterious and incredibly violent universe. The footage illustrates almost inconceivable extremes of size and time, from galaxies to subatomic particles and from cosmic events that occurred millions of years ago to more contemporary microcosmic events that endure only one billionth of a second.

This is pretty cool and trippy old 70's documentary. The wiki for the guy who wrote/directed it says he worked on special effects for 2001.

ooh, nice find!

here's another (shorter) old space/universe film that i love -- might be jazz to some but i don't think i found it on watmm. makes good sample fodder.

4 exoplanets orbiting the star hr8799 

first time i've seen this and wow
