At first I hoped it was going to be Enya doing an interpretive dance of this.

But, I liked what they did even better.

Interesting and lovely, especially the movements where they are bound by the constellation lines. Something about the music and light effects made me feel like I was seeing a longform GE commercial, though. Did General Electric do something similar in an ad, maybe during the "we bring good things to life" era?

Beautiful. Love the constellation parts, also.
