Nothing but pictures and music by E. Sterling (San Diego)  2 Stars
February 13, 2010
This video is only pictures of space with music playing. Some of the pictures have a caption saying what galaxy or nebula it is but that's it. I did not watch the whole thing, I got bored after ten minutes. The shots from the Hubble telescope are cool. The picture quality was not great and it didn't fill the width of my
monitor. Maybe after ten minutes of music there is a narrator but I doubt it. These shots would make a cool screen saver.

a slide show by G (Bunnell, Fl. United States) 2 Stars
June 09, 2009
We are very interested in outer space and would have appreciated commentary instead of "mood music". This was nothing more than a slide show. A cheap way to sell pictures of the Hubble spacecraft.

I Liked it - What's with the long title though??? by Remo (CA)  5 Stars
June 05, 2009
The music was fine, as were the images. Little titles for the moving images with a few names i could recognize. It was a good program without the pre-sales hype - unlike some of the other ones which i dare not provide feedback for. Trying to keep my aura positive this year. They say it makes one live longer - we'll see. Have fun.

Hubble Space Telescope images are brilliant!!! by Nicky (Florida) 5 Stars
April 15, 2009
I rather enjoyed this DVD. The DVD images are stunningly brilliant in color and clarity. The music was very well done with sort of a groovy motion slide show thing going on. Since i've seen it half dozen times already, I would certainly recommend this to any space enthusiast.
