The universe is our home, we are representatives of the earthly civilization, and for more than one millennium we have been peering into the magical depths of the cosmic abyss. And only the last century brought us an understanding and the full scale of the grandeur of what is happening around us. The universe is so multifaceted and amazing processes take place in it every moment. Under the action of its own gravity, matter collapses, forming a great variety of cosmic structures. Gas clouds, compressing, give rise to stars and planets. Supernovas explode and black holes absorb absolutely everything they can reach. And the cosmic darkness is cut by flashes of pulsars. Our path lies through the cold depths of our space to meet the giant stars and who knows what we will find on this long journey! 00:00 How many galaxies are there in the universe? 13:07 Journey to extraordinary stars 27:06 The brightest stars.
