Boards of Canada

Look at this beautiful film that Dan showed me on the National Film Board of Canada website. It's called Universe, and is an amazing vision of everything ever, from 1960. What is interesting is how accurate the representations are of the then observable heavens, but how wrong they visualised earth from space - sort of a greyed out blurry blob. Enjoy the music of the spheres...
