The Most Astounding Fact in the Universe

In an interview, a Time magazine reporter asked Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson “What’s the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?” Another person, Max Schlickenmeyer took DeGrasse’s answer, added some images from BBC documentaries and a little music to make the following 3-minute video.

DeGrasse’s answer about why “the universe is in us” is cool, reminding me of Carl Sagan‘s oft-repeated comment that we are “star stuff.”

That’s the lesson for today.
