More of Putting Planets and Stars in Perspective

"Keep the World in Perspective" - this video pans and zooms from a picture of Venus to one of W Cephei: with "Also sprach Zarathustra" for musical accompaniment, to give a sort of retro "2001: a Space Odyssey" feel to it.

(The biggest featured star is W Cephei A, a red supergiant with a very hot probably-main-sequence companion.)

I must like this sort of thing. I posted "Putting Earth, the Sun, and the Solar System in Perspective" just a few days ago.
