Using the Hipparcos-Yale-Gliese star database of over 1 million star positions and magnitudes, I take you on a FLT (faster than light) trip from Earth to the Orion Nebula and a short tour of the Trapezium cluster whose stellar wind is carving a bowl-shaped open space in the Orion Molecular Cloud. Then I get all religious on you and take you on a fanciful journey BEHIND the nebula to where one theological premise says the biblical 'New Jerusalem' and throne of God is located. In this section I've modeled an imaginative concept of what everything does NOT look like. And if that isn't enough, let's return back to Earth with Christ via his second coming... again, what it WON'T look like. But, hey, an artist's imagination is just that. Narrated by Drs David and (father) Robert Gentry during a live presentation of version 1 of this animation on 3ABN's "Ten Commandment Weekend" May 5 & 6, 2006, in Washington, DC. Created with Lightwave 3D 10.0 (trip to orion in 2011), 11.5 (orion to new jerusalem in 2013), and 7.0 (second coming in 2006). Composited in After Effects and edited in Sony Vegas Pro 10 for presentation by Robert Gentry at his ASI 2013 booth, Orlando, FL.
