Born too late to explore to the world. Born too early to explore the stars. Born just in the right time to experience all forms of music.

[sam_uwu]

I am an astronomer student, I started this year, but from what I've seen, the universe is a huge sphere full of mystery, beautiful colours, huge distances and inmense objects floating. It's so quiet you can hear music, create music and it will create eco all around your brain. It's a dream, a heavy dream, but I'm here studying, late at night, calculating distances, looking at the sky, and saying "I will be there one day"
If I can do it, you can do it.
We will be there one day.
We will meet one day.

[cocobeebunnied]

It’s crazy that thousands of people have listened to this exact video too, all with unique lives, thoughts and feelings. And that’s just this video, trillions have looked at the same stars that I have

[ariekiwi]

its soothing to think about how we technically are lost in space, we're on a little planet that's floating endlessly through time

[lailas-in-space]

"We're lost."
He looked around at the vast darkness that swallowed us, freckled with countless stars. He smiled and turned to me.
"Maybe that's not so bad."

[Aietan]

As an astronaut lost in space discovering things that humanity will never be able to I can confirm this is what I listen to

[mahanaimaqeel]

This is so beautiful. It's like a lullaby for all those space lovers, future cosmologists, astronomers, and scientists. This made me teary. I once thought of becoming an astronomer and just look at all those huge giant balls floating in space when I was a child 7 years of age, my dad used to bring me books about solar system, documentaries of Stephen Hawking, and space. Since there's not much advancement in terms of astronomy where I live so I was like, forget it. Here I am today, 20 years old, on my journey of doing Bachelors in physics and on the road to be an astronomist. This took me 13 years back to my childhood wish of becoming one!idk to know if anyone will ever read this, but I'll leave this here for all those dreamers, pretty souls, and readers!!

[arachnopho]

I just put my headphones in and stare at the ceiling from my bed. I dream of all of the stories I think of but never write. I think of places I’ve never explored. This gives me goosebumps…

That is until you realize that sound needs a medium to travel and you're only reminiscing on these songs in your head as you slowly realize that you are dying due to lack of oxygen. You gaze back at the stars and they shine at you, You acknowledge that this is the end.
Every person you know and love won't know you're dead. Every person who hated you already assumed you'd die anyways but you're okay with that.

As your vision starts to fade out, you recall all the events that brought you here; Going as far back as your childhood. The first time you learned to walk, the sound of your mom calling you for dinner, The first A+ you got on your report...

Eventually your mind skips to your graduation and you notice how old your parents look... You'd feel the urge to grab them and pray to god they don't age anymore, however you notice tears shedding down their face... They have achieved their mission, They raised a successful child.

Fast forward a few years and you're just a few days away from your first launch... You ask around and find out that your parents died last week; Though gloom rained on your day, you knew this is what they would want from you.
As your vision blurs a faint voice can be heard, Before it all fades to black a faint audile "I love you" can be heard. It took your consciousness a second to realize its your mother.

At this moment you realize that its time to reunite with your family and leave this world behind, You've discovered so many things that cannot aid humanity however you will leave this life satisfied.

Finally. I always wanted a playlist where i would feel like I'm in the middle universe. I love this type of thing. Thank you so much.

[ymatt-]

Somehow i feel like we all know each other, but at the same time we're just strangers chasing for the same thing, looking into the unexplored worlds ahead. Whoever you are, whatever you're going through, i hope you know you will always have a place here with me, we can eat marshmallows in front of a fireplace, wondering what next star will became a supernova.

[kannamabu]

This is truly a wonderful concept.

It's your final hour, and you know it.
Death is knocking at the door, and it will not wait.

You're lost in space, wondering about in the endless sea of universes and planets.

You feel warm, even if you're slowly taking your last breaths.

It's beautiful.
The scenery is freckled by countless stars, mimicking only a tiny bit of all that exists.

What are you compared to that?
The thought is vividly terrifying, yet calming.

Your vision's getting blurry.
This is the end.

But yet, you have to give in into this warm feeling. This is what humanity merely dreams of seeing. This is the time that you get answered all unspoken question.

You try to catch your breath, to ask more, to 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 more.

It's no good.
Your last breath slightly hitches in the back of your throat, and the view starts getting darker, and darker.

This is the true ending.
Good night.

This content is why I've come to terms with my brother being happy in the afterlife. When he died he was a physics grad student and loved the outdoors and solitude. In the afterlife, whatever it may be, time and space are irrelevant. He's now learning all the secrets of how the multiverse works, his energy is exploring the furthest reaches of reality that humanity and most advanced races will never be able to even dream of reaching. What we live on Earth is an incomprehensible small fraction of a percentage of what is truly out there. But someday when we will all return to the cosmos from which we all came from, we may experience this too.

Edit: you guys are all incredible. My most liked YT comment ever. Thank you all for your kind words ❤️

[valentinamartin]

How crazy, right? To think that despite the great immensity of the universe we exist, that humanity exists. Beings so complex that they have the ability to feel something as abstract as emotions. Which are the ones that guide us day by day. They make us feel, but there are people who have an emptiness inside, who no longer feel anything. But when you listen to these playlists, it's impossible not to feel something. Thanks for what you do. Not just a playlist, but bringing people's emotions back.

[inanutshell]

Have you folks noticed how wonderful this comments section is? Filled with wisdom, deep thoughts, and elegant prose. Rarely do we end up uplifted by YT comments. Thank you, my digital friends, for being you!

And thank you, nobody, for bringing us to a better place with this ethereal melody.

[AndresGarcia-pkyf]

I don't want to die, I just don't want to live in such a damaged body that has so many health conditions that have no cure. Music like this helps bring me back to life in the sense that i remember why all the pain and suffering are worth it. The pain might not end until I die but its worth it.

I'm an avid amateur astronomer that loves learning about our interstellar backyard. Here's a few facts about the pictures presented in the video with timestamps:

▨ 0:00 ─ We're looking at the bottom portion of the Great Orion Nebula. The closest stellar nursery to that of our own star system (i.e. the Solar System), currently young stars are being forged and created here. They will definitely be the home star to many planetary systems for the next several billion years to come. It's the brightest nebulae visible to the naked eye, just look for the constellation of Orion and it will be located under the 3 stars (i.e. the belt of Orion).

27:36 ─ Top portion of the Orion Nebula
36:46 ─ Central portion of the Orion Nebula

• Distance: 1.3 kly away
• Radius: 25 ly wide
• Age: 2 million years old
• Constellation: Orion

▨ 13:11 ─ This is a distant exoplanet called J1407b, famous for it's large ring system. Consisted of 30 rings, it's 200x larger than that of Saturn's rings. Gaps between the rings have indicated to home orbiting exomoons. Astronomers are expecting these rings to thin out and disappear over the next several million years. If to replace Saturn's rings, they would be visible from Earth naked eye.

• Distance: 434 ly away
• Radius: 90 million km wide
• Age: 16 million years old
• Constellation: Centaurus

▨ 22:15 ─ A familiar face in planetary observing, this is the Great Red Spot located on Jupiter. A giant storm bigger than the size of Earth that has been roaring for nearly 400 years and with winds going as fast as 400 km per hour. Don't be fooled by it's size, it's recorded that the size of the storm is shrinking at an alarming rate of 900 km per year. The 'circle' to the left is one of Jupiter's moon lo, which is casting a shadow over the Great Red Spot to the right.

• Planet: Jupiter
• Radius: 16, 350 km wide
• Age: 357 years old

▨ 45:05 ─ This is the Andromeda galaxy, our neighbor galaxy. This galaxy spans a few moons across and can be seen naked eye in moderately dark skies with little light pollution. It is the largest structure a human can see naked eye from Earth, and much larger than that of our own galaxy spanning over 220 thousand light years across (our own Milky Way galaxy spans at nearly 110 thousand light years across). Light emitted from this galaxy is 2.5 million years old, that means the light you see from it today is equivalent of looking back in time when the first Humans were just emerging.

Fun fact: Our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are expected to collide and merge with one another in 4-5 billion years, with the new cliché name "Milkdromeda galaxy."
Fun fact: Andromeda was ordinarily discovered as a nebula and for hundreds of years it was considered as such, but it wasn't until the 1900s that it was indeed an entirely separate galaxy.

• Distance: 2.5 mly away
• Radius: 220 kly wide
• Age: 10 billion years old
• Constellation: Andromeda

▨ 50:17 ─ Not sure what this is, possibly just general stargazing within our own Milky Way galaxy. The dark areas are Dark Nebulas, which is a type of interstellar cloud that is very dense and can block visible light behind it. Those small groups of stars are called Star Clusters, concentrated spheres of suns equivalent to our own. Other than that, enjoy the stars.

▨ 55:53 ─ I have no idea what this is officially however, my take is that it seems to be a galaxy with the composition of other spiral and elliptical galaxies. The idea actually exists, but it's not as pretty as this image. We call a collection of galaxies 'superclusters' which are part of a local group within the Observable Universe. Superclusters span vast distances and we actually live in one called the Laniakea Supercluster, which is consisted of nearly 200, 000 galaxies and is 250 million light years across.

▨ 01:06:28 ─ Finally, we have the Black Hole. A Black Hole is a region in spacetime where nothing can escape from it's immense gravitational influence, not even the speed of light. With enough mass in a small and compact area, you can indeed create a Black Hole. The glowing disk around the Black Hole is called the Accretion Disc, a superheated disc of gas and dust that spins around the Black Hole at immense speeds. The material must stay within the innermost stable orbit or doom themselves passing the 'Point of No Return' and eventually collapsing.

Fun fact: If a human were to fall pass the point of no return (i.e. the Event Horizon) they will undergo a process called spaghettification and be stretched down the thickness of an atom. Doesn't sound like a pleasant experience for anything that manages to fall into these amazing yet horrifying things.

─ Thanks for reading. Clear skies!

[niklasknop]

Perhaps one of the best playlists for sitting outside and watching the night sky. Either by naked eye or telescope doesn’t really matter.
Clear skies everyone

Wish my father were here to tell me all he has seen in the last 5 years. I’ve graduated, I’ve got a good job right outta highschool, have a passion for music like he did. But he couldn’t be there to see me grow up, he went somewhere better. A more peaceful place, more riches for everyone to enjoy, happiness. Dad, i know your whole life you seemed people didn’t like you or had nothing to do with you, even when I was born, you still felt neglected. You were loved, you will not be forgotten, your name will be heard everywhere someday. For those reading this, his name was Danny Cansler. Rest In Peace my true friend, pal, buddy, that I never learned to know, until you were truly gone.
