(Instructor) An immensity of our universe
for many days before the end of our Earth,
people were looking at the night sky
and noticed a star, increasingly bright
and increasingly near.
As the star approaches us..
Jim Stark, I'll go find a place, I'm sorry.
(Instructor) As the star approaches us, the weather
were changed, the great polar fields of the north
and south were rough and divide and the seas
were turned warmer.
The last of us searched the heavens and stand amazed
for the stars will still be there,
moving through their ancient rhythms.
The thalamic constellations that illuminate our night
will seem as they have always seemed, eternal,
unchanged and little moved by the sharpness of time
between our planet's birth and it's demise.
Orion, the hunter.
One of thalamus constellations and the most brilliant
in the heavens.
Boring
What?
I'm just thinking that once you've been up there,
you've been some place.
(sneezes)
- Gesundheit
- (Instructor) are almost equal in brilliancy.
Cancer, the crab.
Containing a large, loose cluster of stars
- (laughs) - called Praesepe,
or the beehive.
- Hey, I'm a crab.
(laughs)
- (Instructor) The sun can be vertically overhead.
Taurus, the bull.
An extremely ancient constellation
- (Moos)
(audience laughs)
- That's real funny.
(Instructor continues in the background)
Our comedian Buzz.
Yeah, he's cute but he's real rough too.
I bet he fights cows.
- (Instructor) Sagittarius and Aries, consisting of eight
- Hey, you shouldn't monkey with him.
He's real buzz, so is she.
It's hard to make friends with these guys.
- I don't wanna make friends.
- (Instructor) Long after we have gone,
and while the flesh of our beginning has not yet
traveled the light years into distance,
has not yet been seen by other planets
deep within the other galaxies, we would disappear
into the blackness of the space from which we came.
Destroyed as we began, in a burst of gas and fire.
(blasts)
(sinister music)
- (Instructor) The heavens are still in cold once more.
In all the immensity of our universe and the galaxies
beyond, the Earth will not be missed.
Through the infinite reaches of space, the problems
of man seem trivial and naive indeed.
And man existing alone seems himself an episode
of little consequence.
That's all, thank you for your attention.
Thank you very much.
May I have your attention?
May I please have your attention?
Class is to meet at the bus outside.
May I have your attention?
Oh what the heck?
