Kirsten Dunst in "Music of the Spheres"
"Music of the Spheres" is an episode of The Outer Limits. It first aired on 9 May 1997, during the third season. When you watch this, you will see a young Kirsten Dunst and Joshua Jackson. Howard Hessemen, Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati, has a co-starring role.
This episode is about young people being affected by "music" that comes from Sirius. It's fun to watch because, in many ways, the story is similar to what humanity is going through right now.
As I was looking for this video, I learned that the phrase, "Music of the Spheres" has many meanings and is commonly used amongst those in the Spiritual Community. If you look up this phrase online, you will find many websites that refer to it in some way.
Here is part of the entry from Wikipedia:
Musica universalis (lit. universal music, or music of the spheres) is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin name for music). This 'music' is not usually thought to be literally audible, but a harmonic and/or mathematical and/or religious concept. The idea continued to appeal to thinkers about music until the end of the Renaissance, influencing scholars of many kinds, including humanists.
