Spiral solar system orbits thru time.
This blows my mind, Dan. I could watch it for hours.

It's cool. I love watching this video loop too. But I noticed that they put Saturn in a closer orbit to the Sun than Jupiter, presuming this is our Solar System we're watching. If not, glad to see there are other systems quite similar to ours and now I don't feel so alone out here anymore.
I think it's our solar system. Not sure why they did that.
Both Saturn and Jupiter have rings; maybe they got confused?

Sometimes I like to think there's a destination we're heading too... Preferably somewhere with Ice Cream. Earthlings love ice cream :P
