Footage from the 2008 documentary, "Journey to the Edge of the Universe". Stars are born, grow up, and then, then what? Do they die? Do they slip quietly into the night, or go out with a bang? Somewhere between here and the edge of the Universe lies the answer. Luminous clouds suspended in space, encircling what was once a star, like our own sun. All that s left of it are these brightly coloured gases, elements formed by nuclear fusion deep inside the star, released into space on its death. Green and violet, Hydrogen and Helium, the raw materials of the Universe. Red and blue, Nitrogen and Oxygen, the building blocks of life on Earth. For us to live, stars like this had to die. The Oxygen in our lungs, the Nitrogen in our DNA, it was all produced by nuclear fusion, in stars that died long before the Earth was even born. We are made of stellar nuclear waste. Our family tree begins here. At its heart the ghost of a star, it s a white dwarf. White, hot, small, but unbelievably dense. In a star s dying moments, its atoms fuse and squeeze together, making it so dense that just a teaspoon of this white dwarf would weigh one tonne. It s a chilling premonition of our sun s fate. Six billion years from now, it will become a white dwarf, its death will herald the end of life on Earth. It makes you wonder how many other worlds have been and gone, stories left untold, celestial books lost forever. But the greatest story of them all is still to be told. We must go back through time to the very first chapter, to tell the story of how the Universe began. The scattered remains of a dead star. A nebula, the Crab Nebula. We re six thousand light years from home, deep inside a stellar graveyard. We ve learned so much, seen things we had never believed possible. Now sights like this, wonders once beyond imagination, we take in our stride. We re ready, ready to face whatever lies ahead. Determined to reach the edge of the Universe. It looks dead, but maybe this is just the calm after the storm, after a massive explosion, powerful enough to turn a huge star into a cloud of dust and gas. A supernova. The eye of the storm, a spinning pulsating star, a pulsar. Gravity must have squeezed the giant star s core down to this. It s just twenty kilometers across, unimaginably dense. One pinhead of this would weigh hundreds, maybe millions, of tonnes. As it shrank, like a figure skater spinning on the spot, arms outstretched then pulling them in, it began to spin faster. Two beams of light, energy, radiation, spinning thirty times a second, powering the huge cloud of dust and gas. There s so much radiation here, more even than on the sun.

The Iron Closet: Russia s draconian anti-gay laws effectively licensing violent vigilante gangs to target the LGBT community. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures Brutally beaten and forced to drink their own urine while being filmed for internet broadcasts, homosexuals lured into the hands of vigilante groups like Occupy Pedofilyaj (who uniformly view gays as paedophiles) should be very afraid. But they can t expect any help from the police: if they re caught the police arrest the victims and not their torturers. "The objective is to look for paedophile-minded residents and film a video that will them leave them publicly disgraced", Yekaterina Zigunova, of the group Occupy Pedofilyaj, boasts unashamedly. The encouragement and free hand they re given is one of the more confronting features of Russia s anti-gay stance. The law has left homosexuals living in fear. Even an expression that you believe in equal rights, or any public display, could result in arrest. "Theoretically it s possible to start hauling us into the police station today", Masha Gessen says about co-habiting with her partner. But they re not giving up and see the Olympics as a great opportunity to confront Russian society. As one activist, Polina, says, "I would call on Games participants to come here and to do visible things in support of LGBT people. Only this way will we have a public discussion".

Isla del Sol ("Island of the Sun") is the largest Island on Lake Titicaca, it is on the Bolivian side of the lake. Isla del Sol, and especially the Chincana ruins and the Titi Kharka rock, were worshipped by the Incas as the birthplace of the sun and the first Incas. The Titi Kharka rock (Rock of the Puma, because the rock is claimed to be shaped like a crouching puma) gave the name of lake Titicaca. The Mesa Ceremonica, in front of the rock, is a ceremonial altar possibly used for human and animal sacrifices. The video shows hike from Challapampa to the North point of the island, sunset and sunrise over the lake, then hike from North to the South, to Yumani. Other inca ruins in the video: the Inca Steps, the Fountain of Youth, Temple of Pilcocaina. Recorded November 2013 in HD with Panasonic TM900.

"Universe: Beyond the Millennium" is a television series observing astronomical phenomena, research, and theories on the universe and its origins. Narrated by John Hurt. The documentary premiered in 1999 and presents an overview of the universe as humans understood it at that time, and how we think it will evolve in the next millennium. Using 3D computer generated graphics, the series features animated sequences that offer insight into the Big Bang theory and the anatomy of the sun. "Creation", for years scientists have speculated about the beginning of the universe. Some astronomers support the Big Bang theory while others purport the Steady State theory. Which one is correct? Telescopes that tune into natural heat radiation coming from space are helping scientists find answers to these and other questions. One day our universe will cool and die, our only escape maybe to risk a flight into a different universe. Perhaps the greatest question facing the human race is to discover where we came from, and find out what is our ultimate fate. Every culture, every age, has asked that question and tried answering it.
