I apologize not being able to find in the web the complete and better resolution image version of this short-tv-film enjoyed at a public exhibition (Arstronomy at La Casa Encendida in Madrid). I found it astounding.

Music by Pierre Henry

Sculptures by Nicholas Sch6ffer

Somewhere
in the cosmos, a
marvellous enigmatic star rotates,
rotates eternally...
From the Earth
a satellite is launched...
Fantastic journey
through space...
The satellite
reaches the star's
zone of attraction;
closer and closer
with each revolution,
as if spellbound...
Desperate efforts
to reach the unreachable...
until the fatal clash...
Unperturbed, the star
continues on its course...
