I was once laying on the ground looking up into a clear starry sky, and suddenly felt as if I were looking down into space. I felt suspended, stuck against the ceiling of the earth only held there by what seemed very tenuous gravity. I wanted to grab something to hold on, as if gravity might let go and I would fall a very, very long way down. No, no drugs. Like an optical illusion, and quite scary.

I rode a bicycle across the US to see what is really there. One nite I was in New Mexico where I was a long way from anything. I got up in the middle of night to take a leak. There was no moon. For the first time I saw the Milky Way.
It is worth traveling somewhere where one can see it.

Please make more of these! Very potent! What a simple shift in point of view, but what a profound shift in perspective.

The only complaint I have is that it took 3 and a half years to make it to my reccomended list. But at least I lived to see it. I am ecstatic about that.

If this isn't the most beautiful thing, I don't know what is....

[MeCA]

It was recommended to me. And I am really blessed that I have seen it.

[PoeLemic]

That is such beauty and really miraculous. I loved watching this. Sure wish you would do that over a year's time. I'd love to see what happens.

When you realize that life is more than just your local pub 😳

This is a different perspective from what we usually see. Normally the camera is fixed and makes it appear that the objects in the sky are moving. Here the camera tracks the sky so we can see how the Earth is rotating. Great video!

Can there be anything more beautiful than this. All those ppl who think they are powerful, watch this. We are just a spec on this one tiny planet in this ginormous unimaginable universe.

This is amazing! Thank you for making this! This seems to be the right way to capture the night sky, keeping space stationary while showing the Earth moving!

[TheAntimon]

Simply breathtaking! There are quite a few stunning timelapses of the Milky Way, but they are normally showing the rotation of the galaxy, while the earth stands still. This video now is the first, I have see, being the other way round. And this is just incredible!

[cytonicstarspren]

This is amazing and scary at the same time. Really gives you a perspective of how Earth is just a rock moving through an ever expanding universe... Everything from the music to editing is excellent, can’t admire this video enough. Keep up the good work

[cooldude]

The creator of this beautiful universe is only worthy of worship!

[mommio]

YouTube just randomly suggested this and what an awe-inspiring, soul feeding, piece of beauty it ended up being. Thanks!

[beyondthescene]

There's nothing more beautiful than the nature itself 🍀

[someguyonyt]

Those dislikes are definitely from the flat earth community

[Depudong]

Please don't tell my wife, but this is the most beautiful thing I've seen all week!

This is magnificent! Well done! One of the best videos to comprehend earth's rotation relevant to space.
