The movie ends with all stars in the night sky going black

What is the consequence of losing our view of the night sky? Through a mix of expert interviews, testimonials, and a trip that takes four young filmmakers to Big Bend to experience the night sky like they never have before, this film explores the connection between astronomy, mythology, and original storytelling.

Lights flicker & fade as focus shifts from artificial to natural light, ending on a second artificial light speeding through the blackened miasma of the night sky.

With minutes to spare, two scientists and a janitor contemplate the end of the world.

This visually spectacular and instructive film traces the evolution of a star from its birth in the depths of a black nebula to its final extinction. Animated drawings, recreating the beauty and immensity of the universe, are amplified by a dense narrative describing the differing evolutionary processes followed by stars of different masses. The film touches on the creation of elements in the core of stars, red giants, bursters, space-time relationships, and black holes. This animation film will be of particular interest to students of physics, chemistry, astronomy, and animation buffs.
