Timelapse of the Chilean Sky in Ultra High Definition - Must See!!

This is the most awesome video

What I wouldn't give to travel to Chile to see the stars, I would never leave

I hope the 3 photographers children are born with two heads, their wives leave them, and they "accidently" fall into a volcano.

But let the world know, I'm not at all jealous of them getting access to ESO...

Another 'me' would say... total kudos to them for being skilful enough to be invited. Great shots!

I make it a point to never use the following word but this time it's the only suiable one. OP I agree these shots are awesome.

Are we alone? Pah of course not it just takes a while to reavh us.

Imagine what the sky must have like for our cavemen ancestors with nothing but a campfire, stories and an endless sky to muse upon.

Maybe humans would be better off if all of our night skies looked like that. Its one thing to look at pictures released by the various space agencies. I would imagine it would be a whole new experience to go outside at night, to look up and be greeted with those views.

The wonder and imagination I felt just by watching the video was amazing. Nothing like nature to put things into perspective. If we all had that view we might be concentrating on cooperation and scientific advancement rather than death and destruction.

S & F

You get extra cool points for identifying various nebula seen in the video.

I spotted the Lagoon Nebula and the Carina Nebula.

By the way, human eyes can't see colour in such dim light, so the Milky Way and the nebulae would appear in shades of grey.
