Sarabande Stars

Astronauts witness Stars in full glory – Turning their gaze from Earth, astronauts see glorious stars, without haze of atmosphere. A stunning site that fills us all with wonder and awe.

Matthew Dominick, in the crew of ISS 71, took these stunning star movies. He is a talented and inspired astronaut photographer, who captured the timeless serenity of the stars. This is a 20 min pass on Sept 4, 2024, that we sped up for this movie.

Catherine Brisset is equally talented and inspired musician. She plays the Cristal Baschet – a fascinating instrument (look it up!) – with her personal adaptation of the Sarabande movement from Bach’s Cello Suite #1 and its wonderful harmonies.
