Notice - The 2019 movie "Cosmos"

Much of the movie takes place inside or near a Volvo Estate car, parked in a wood, after midnight - the car sardine-packed with three astronomers, masses of equipment, and far too many cables for comfort or convenience

I just re-watched the 2019 movie Cosmos (currently on Amazon Prime), and again found it to be well worthwhile seeing. 

Cosmos is unlike any other movie I've seen. It's an almost moment-by-moment (with a few time-skips) account of a night spent doing detailed astronomical observations by three young men (all professionals in astronomical research, but engaged in their hobby); using various sensing techniques. 

The movie is "about" science and engineering in its idealistic and best sense, the friendship and conflicts of the three men, and the shock and implications of discovering that "we are not alone". 

In other words, it's a very serious and heartfelt movie, with a (mostly) slow-burning pace; so it would not be a surprise to learn that it was made as a labour of love by two brothers over several years and with "zero budget" - because such a film could not have happened otherwise. 

It is a gripping and thought-provoking story, which stuck in my memory.
