1:10:00
The sun and you and me
And all the stars that we can see

1:10:04
Are moving at a million miles a day
1:10:08
In an outer spiral arm
at 40,000 miles an hour

1:10:12
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
1:10:23
Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
1:10:27
It's a 100,000 light years side to side
1:10:31
It bulges in the middle
16,000 light years thick

1:10:35
But out by us,
it's just 3,000 light years wide

1:10:39
We're 30,000 light years
from galactic central point

1:10:42
We go round every 200 million years
1:10:46
And our galaxy is only
one of millions of billions

1:10:50
In this amazing and expanding universe
1:11:24
The universe itself
keeps on expanding and expanding

1:11:28
In all of the directions it can whizz
1:11:32
As fast as it can go
The speed of light you know

1:11:36
Twelve million miles a minute
and that's the fastest speed there is

1:11:39
So remember when you're feeling
very small and insecure

1:11:43
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
1:11:47
And pray that there's intelligent life
somewhere up in space

1:11:51
'Cause there's bugger all
down here on earth

1:11:59
Makes you feel so insignificant, doesn't it?
