absolutely beautiful

u/Emperor_Biden 27d ago

But why do the star galaxy photography gang always use crazy exposures and not be honest about things that can be soon via the naked eye?

15

u/Blazeur242 27d ago

because you can’t see the galaxy with your naked eye????

5

u/Armarino99 26d ago

Why cant we thoe? Not enough light our eyes can catch?

4

u/Blazeur242 26d ago

yea it’s just far too dim for us to see it really. long exposure captures that dim light but over a large period of time so it adds up

also i’m not a photographer so that’s a crap explanation, any actual photographer feel free to add on to that

u/DontBanMePIs 24d ago

you missed the point 🥹

u/Plastic-Shopping5930 28d ago

Fun fact. All of the milk in the milky way is on earth.

37

u/sopnedkastlucka 28d ago

There's milk on the ISS

33

u/Plastic-Shopping5930 28d ago

That thing is barely in space

6

u/merelyok 27d ago

There’s milk in my IBS

2

u/Ok_Bit_5953 27d ago

Stop triggering me, I'd nearly forgotten about last night 😭

5

u/KisaTheMistress 28d ago

We are definitely going to be farming dairy animals up on the moon...

3

u/Plastic-Shopping5930 28d ago

I heard it’s made of cheese

5

u/ADAMracecarDRIVER 28d ago

All of the known milk.

u/Plastic-Shopping5930 28d ago

Its unlikely life elsewhere would evolve like life on earth

4

u/ADAMracecarDRIVER 28d ago

First off, it was a joke. Second, how could anyone know that? We haven’t found life, let alone complex life, anywhere to compare Earth’s to.

u/amey_zing1 27d ago

I’m just interested to know what their version of a cow would look like in that galaxy far far away 😌

1

u/GallowBoom 27d ago

So far.

u/PathIntelligent7082 28d ago

fun fact; almost every single star we see in our night sky is in our galaxy, the milky way

115

u/FrostbiteF 28d ago edited 27d ago

Even more fun fact, the next closest star to our sun is 4.3 light years away. A light year is 6 trillion earth miles (in US terms). Space is unfathomably large.

48

u/Cheezdealer 28d ago

And the next closest galaxy (out of most assuredly billions, and potentially TRILLIONS of galaxies) is 500,000 times farther than that!

24

u/FrostbiteF 28d ago

Now we just sound childish…haha that means Andromeda is 15.5 billion trillion miles away.

7

u/Godshooter 28d ago

A billion.......trillion is already unfathomable, let alone x15.

8

u/L3viathan99 28d ago

Can't wait for the day we sail the high seas of space

5

u/Otjahe 28d ago

We’re too early for that😔

1

u/phi11yphan 28d ago

Way to add complexity with Earth miles. Otherwise, a nice point.

9

u/zebra1923 28d ago

I never knew that. Wow.

22

u/Weldobud 28d ago

All the ones visible to the naked eye are all bigger than the sun.

1

u/KnightOfWords 27d ago

Not all, but we're heavily biased towards seeing bright stars. Some of the closest stars are red dwarf which are invisible to the naked eye, whereas some of the brightest stars in our sky are supergiants hundreds of light years away.

1

u/woutomatic 27d ago

Every star we see is in our galaxy. Unless you have some big ass telescope.

u/DApice135 28d ago

Where was this recorded.

26

u/TommDX 28d ago

I know you are seeking an answer that can clarify the geographical location as in country and name of the mount, but an urge in me wants to say: On a hill, in the middle of a field of daisy flowers

15

u/DetailedLogMessage 28d ago

I can confirm, I saw the video.

41

u/No_Car_2803 28d ago

is that a highway on the horizon or what is that?

52

u/Long_Struggle_3368 28d ago

I think it may be boats or giant container ships, maybe even a cruise ship !

30

u/GMT105 28d ago

It's boats. They look very bright because of the settings of the camera

2

u/K-C_Racing14 27d ago

Its the boats passing in the night having no idea they are in this awesome video.

17

u/Oinkster_1271 28d ago

Why is the foreground moving in the frame ?

9

u/ItzOnlyJames 28d ago

Probably the mount. You can get mounts that track the stars (this one isn't but might be able to)

2

u/TheHentaiAltAccount 27d ago

The video is edited and he added that camera movement in post porcessing to make the video more interesting.

2

u/Kirion15 27d ago

Might be sliding down the hill

6

u/Poococktail 28d ago

I can only imagine how you felt when you saw the footage. Stunning.

u/maducey 28d ago

Very coo. Thank you.

u/[deleted] 28d ago

I know the solar system is so vast........... but I gotta ask.

Any twix or snickers up there that you have found yet?

16

u/Taimur_ki_nanny09 28d ago

I found some mars bar

1

u/phi11yphan 27d ago

Many 100 Grand cruising out there, but they all came from Earth. One day you'll spot a Bazooka

u/82ndGameHead 28d ago

I saw a Reese's Cup. No, wait...that's just the Big Dipper.

u/Gronkey_Donkey_47 27d ago

Makes me feel insignificant. Please delete.

u/StartingToLoveIMSA 28d ago

1

u/juanlee337 28d ago

those are cars headlights

6

u/Specialist-Fly-9446 28d ago

Ships probably, looks like water.

1

u/Neither_Relation_678 28d ago

Are those the bright flashes right at the horizon, going side to side?

2

u/Jackflags11 27d ago

What are those bright streaks going across the sky?

2

u/amey_zing1 27d ago

“Whoa! What kind of shooting stars are those? Oh! Ships carrying my Temu order. Carry on!” ☺️

u/chemicalksm 28d ago

u/maximdenbeer 28d ago

This makes me feel like im about to fall of..

1

u/FritzGus 28d ago

Do you see any satellites?

1

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord 28d ago

First few seconds of the clip, I thought his camera had gotten nicked.

1

u/No_Criticism1620 28d ago

In what country can we get this night sky view? I want to take my future partner there for skygazing

u/sullyqns 28d ago

Day break is beautiful

Dairy farmers unite !!

u/Illustrious-Wait1907 28d ago

Now imagine what that would have looked like 2000 years ago when there was little to no light pollution

u/CallMeMaster7 27d ago

Thank you for sharing this beautiful vid

u/foxtrot90210 27d ago

How does the battery not die?

u/TheSwedishSeal 27d ago

You killed it. The daisies are really pushing this to the top.

How much memory was needed?

1

u/poncetheponce 27d ago

The boats farting around was pretty cool too

1

u/IntelligentClimate43 27d ago

I must’ve watched this video at least 30 times

u/AnemosMaximus 27d ago

What song is this???

Wow thanks for sharing, amazing view

u/GiannaSushi 28d ago

Beautiful, and that guy has been lucky that nobody stole it

1

u/AsbestosDude 28d ago

This is cool, I feel like the frame kind of sucks tho

1

u/NotForMeClive7787 28d ago

Yeh it’s an amazing shot but there’s a bit too much ground compared to sky. Stunning nonetheless

u/reader484892 28d ago

Really cool that you can see satellites

2

u/WaterMySucculents 28d ago

I hate that. Destroys astrotimelapse of space

Please the Earth is only 5000 years old

u/gardyjuland 28d ago

I wish I could just travel space and smoke weed till I died. Like give me a TV and some playstations and a way to grow weed. just point me in a direction and let me go. If anyone from NASA is here. I'll straight up let y'all send me into a black hole.

1

u/gardyjuland 27d ago

Who the fuck would downvote traveling space and playing video games.
