The child grows up and becomes one with another. Black Hole – A summary of the life of a parent up until death, then the cycle repeats. Supernova Reprise – The human connection to the stars. We are not so different after all. Supernova – The birth of a star, the birth of a child. It is an explosive and beautiful moment.
