Time Lapse Sky Shows Earth Rotating Instead of Stars
Uploaded by bulletpeople on May 28, 2011

Here is a minor edit to the excellent video by Stephane Guisard and Jose Francisco Salgado, posted at Nicolas Bustos channel. Visit [url=http://eso.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://eso.org[/url] for more about the European Southern Observatory.

The time-lapse starfield has been edited to show the rotation of the Earth from the point of view of the stars.

The original video by Guisard and Salgado at http://youtu.be/wFpeM3fxJoQ was edited to hold the frame stationary on the stars instead of on the earth, as it was originally filmed.


"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
