If animations like this were around when I took astronomy years ago, I would have spent MUCH less time wracking my brain and trying to visualize the motions of everything in the sky! Great graphics; Great learning tool!

21 minutes of your video , took me 2 hours to me to watch (time is relevant) as I paused it again and again to try to grab the concepts... And It worthed every single second. Thank you, I feel grateful having seen this.
