Do you "dream big science?" NASA does, and to prove it, the space agency has released Pursuit of Light, its latest video.
The six-minute movie shows a number of scientific clips, including time-lapse shots of Earth from orbit, video showing the motion of clouds, and a segment that makes it feel like you're about to land on the Moon. Interspersed amongst those clips are shorter clips of action on Earth, from a city street to a mountain lake. Those bits can feel like filler, but the space segments are — forgive the pun — out of this world.
The description on the video's YouTube page pulls at our heartstrings a bit: "The Space Shuttles may be gathering dust, but we're not staying on Earth!" I think we'd all rather see NASA's budget go towards dusting off those rockets and visiting foreign planets, but in the meantime, a steady stream of eye candy from space will have to hold us over.
