See Dramatic Supernova Close-Up In 'Wonders Of The Universe' (VIDEO)

WATCH: Dramatic, Terrifying Supernova Video

Design company Burrell Durrant Hifle has posted a 15-minute video showcasing stunning animation sequences from the miniseries "Wonders of the Universe," which recently aired on the BBC.

The short, titled "Cosmological Fantasia," features a particularly thrilling close-up of a supernova. Waves of multicolored radiation envelope the viewer as the star explodes in a brilliantly terrifying display that Discover Magazine praises for its accuracy.

The video also takes the viewer on a slightly more peaceful tour of some wondrous sights throughout our universe, like the Crab Nebula and the Milky Way Galaxy. There are of course, some surprising detours along the way.

Accompanied by Timo Baker's dramatic score, this is one exciting ride through the cosmos.
