100 Quiet Facts about the Milky Way | Fall Asleep to Space

Описание: 💤🛌 Fall asleep to a calming journey through the Milky Way.

This long-form science sleep video explores our home galaxy in a slow, soothing way — designed for deep rest, relaxation, and nighttime listening.

As you settle in, the narration gently guides you from the familiar night sky into the vast structure of the Milky Way: its spiral arms, ancient stars, drifting dust, and the quiet motion of our Sun as it orbits the galactic center. The science is accurate but intentionally simplified, allowing your mind to slow without needing to focus or remember details.
