This video is awesome and also terrifying. As someone who grew up watching scifi shows and reading books about space travel I most often didn't realize just how vast and empty space is. This though is a blatant visual reminder of just how wondrous and deadly space truly is.

Looks like any part of Skyrim that had a dragon at the top.
