I had a hunch when I saw the APOD of today (22scd) that there might be some discussion going on...but I do not understand why it must be so emotional...?
I consider myself to be a very serious astro-photographer and when I achieve a decent result, I am eager to get it published as an APOD, which happened to become reality a couple times, yet.
I had a great time watching this video on APOD, before it was posted here - I showed this to my kids and wife the following day as it was already pretty late here, everyone is sleeping (1a.m. local time…still …processing…what else could I be doing at this time, when the house is …silently dwelling here in the middle of nowhere)
Discussion is a good thing, everyxone is supposed to have its own mind and its own opinion, but maybe, it is not so much off astronomics as it might appear in the first place…
...cos we humans are all off-spring of astronomical objects like the very stars, that faded away in a spectacular explosion so many billion years ago, expelling their „entrails“ into space, providing space with their (heavy) elemtents that helped forming a new sun, …earth, …life, … us, the humans. They were making – if you will – a sacrifce.
…and by making this sacrifice in terms of such an „apoptotic death“ of one of those stars, we even do not know, this star put itself in charge for brining us earhtlings in the game! So, in the end it is very well justified to show this video:
It displays one of the very best results of the off-spring of our parenting stars: happy people around the globe - here on earth.
dig it!
I am sure, they would be very content and happy watching these people dance all over the globe…their sacrifice was worthwhile.
if this would just happen more oftenly…
isnt’t it so? when children do not know their parents, sometiems when they grow older, they are likely to look for these – at least they want to learn about them. Our heavenly parents will always stay unknown, but by reaching out for the stars at night, with our imaging equipment, we maybe express this wish for looking for our parents, and going on this enterprise is a good thing. how else could you understand yourself as humans, when not investigating the very origin?…I love this thought. And I find rest, calm and peace under the night skies. When dwelling in the observatory and imaging, I sit and stare, meditate and … I am happy.
So - THANK you for this wonderful movie! I love it!

the origin of us is within the idea of being happy, happy becos we have been raised, have been put in this place, compsired with the elemtnts, that so many eons ago have been buildt up in the stars we watch at night...
