The black void of space is quickly filled with a time-lapse of a virtual asteroid being digitally drawn. A small satellite with a curious look on his face glows a neon purple and looks at the asteroid from afar. The dark space is full of stars, and the sun can be seen in the far off distance, casting a lens flare over the view. The camera flies by the asteroid and satellite before it fades to darkness.
