and immensity of our universe.
:23:35
For many days
before the end of our Earth...
:23:38
people will look
into the night sky and notice a star...
:23:41
increasingly bright and increasingly near.
:23:44
As this star approaches us...
:23:48
Jim Stark.
:23:50
I'll go find a place. I'm sorry.
:23:52
As this star approaches us,
the weather will change.
:23:55
The great polar fields of the north
and south will rot and divide.
:24:00
And the seas will turn warmer.
:24:02
The last of us search the heavens
and stand amazed.
:24:06
For the stars will still be there...
:24:08
moving through their ancient rhythms.
:24:11
The familiar constellations
that illuminate our night...
:24:14
will seem as they have always seemed:
:24:16
Eternal, unchanged and little moved...
:24:19
by the shortness of time
between our planet's birth and demise.
:24:24
Orion, the hunter.
:24:26
One of Ptolemy's constellations...
:24:27
and the most brilliant in the heavens.
:24:30
Boy!
:24:33
What?
:24:36
I was just thinking that...
:24:37
once you've been up there
you know you been some place.
:24:44
Gesundheit!
:24:46
They're almost equal in brilliancy.
:24:50
Cancer, the crab...
:24:52
containing a large, loose cluster of stars,
called Praesepe or the Beehive.
:24:57
I'm a crab!
