The first time I witnessed the Milky Way I reached out to try to touch it. Than I asked my dad if we were the only ones, he turned to me and said No and told me that somewhere, another being was reaching its hand out also.
People who think we are alone in the universe are morons. With billions upon billions upon BILLIONS of planets in our galaxy alone, there HAS to be at least 1000 other species or civilizations, and that's not counting the millions of other galaxies that exist in our universe. When you think of how big this place is, it just blows your mind. Especilly since only about 0.4% of the universe is galaxies, about 70% is Dark Energy and 25% is Dark Matter.
DAMN where i live you see like 30 stars in the night sky and thats pretty much it :( if i had such a view every night i would never move out from that location :D
@greenops I was thinking the same thing. It seems crazy to me that you can see that exact image with the naked eye. I am very aware that you can see the Milky Way galaxy in the right spots. But is it really THAT clear???
Shut the fuck up you dumb cunt, how much times do you want to say low esteem, we can fucking read!! You are supposed to comment about this amazing video of the milky way instead of attention seeking you fucking wanking troll.
P.S: its wierd in australia because the milky way rises in the east haha
@gunnyman99 i was trying to make a point and it seems to have a struck a cord in even those that weren't in the conversation LMAO if i am a "fucking wanking troll" for writing a comment, what does that make you? LMAO...people never seem to think before saying anything these days SMH
i live 20 miles outside St. Louis, MO and have my whole life. I have never seen anything like this in the sky before, and I can't believe people in the country see this every night like it's nothing.
@Xoxinwulf well to the human eye you cant actually see all of that. you wouldn't be able to see the milky way and like half of those stars. the camera the guy used was set on very high ISO sensitivity (picks up even the faintest amount of light). So you would be able to see a lot of stars, especially in the middle of no where but you wouldnt be able to see the milky way, sadly :[.
@Xoxinwulf Well,i live in a fairly small town in southern sweden and if you walk to the forest here and find an open space you will see alot but not this much. The Aperture of the camera makes it take in all the light produced by the stars, so stars far away becomes very clearly visible. Thinking of making a timelapse video myself when in northen part of sweden to perhaps catch aurora borealis =)
Watching things like this makes me sad that our species' space programs are the most under-funded and misguided in any Government. Before I die, I hope to see a drastic change, an increase in the awareness of how important space travel is. Our resources will be gone, and not everything can run off water and solar energy.
The day we leave our solar system and find that confirmed advanced, non-natural signal from another species will be the greatest day in the history of our species and planet.
i have lived all over america and have stayed in texas many times i have never seen a night sky anything like this in america, i have lived in the zuni mountains of new mexico off of old indian trading routeshundreds of miles from any major city and still have not seen a sky like this i have lived in the thicks of the ozarks and still nothing like this.
I actually realized how stupid my question must have sounded the minute it was out of reach. The images were surreal and I've never seen anything approaching the brilliance in the video so I guess what I said sort of just fell out of my mouth.

@fady02 you are a fucking dumb shit thinking blind people would be on youtube trying to watch something they can't even see. so not only does that make you a fucking dumb shit, it makes you a fucking dumb shit with a low self esteem that would say anything just to get a thumb up his ass. Fucking dumb shit with a low self esteem.
@YoungCrs I don't give two shits about a thumbs up lol. You're an idiot for not understanding a joke. I hate dealing with idiots, so I won't bother replying anymore. Goodbye
@fady02 LMAO thats right, you don't give 2 shits, you give 3 shits you fucking dumb shit with a low self esteem. Oh, I understand the joke but i think its a poor excuse of one therefore leading me to believe you are really desperate for laughs, but since we are on youtube, a thumbs up. Either you are too stupid to come up with something clever or you are looking for a thumbs up. Either way you are still a fucking dumb shit with a low self esteem. LMAO u fucking dumb shit with a low self esteem.
@YoungCrs You might be doing shit for a laugh, but thats because you're an attention whore. I simply amuse myself by making pissing off idiots like you and it worked lol. Its so sad how small your mind can be.
@fady02 pissed off? you have no idea do u...i'm over here laughing my fucking ass off at how pathetic you get after each of ur comment. Attention? who's attention? please tell me, because i don't see anyone else but your fucking dumbass, the 1 with the low self esteem, yeah that fucking dumbass hahahaha if my mind is SMALL yours must be tiny. But of course it has a HUGE low self esteem problem hahaha
u have already proven my point for me Mr. I won't bother replying anymore hahahaha UR PATHETIC!
@chonomakona no, i was merely saying what is more likely to happen and I guess I was right LMAO...yeah you can keep on saying that while you are getting rammed by your manfriend
@YoungCrs So you are homophobic. Pity. It's also a pity that you can't think of anything better than saying I'm gay. You probably look like you got Down Syndrome or something considering you're a troll.
@chonomakona How am I homophobic, I was merely pointing out what is very likely to happen to you and it turns out I was right....I look like I have down syndrome? LMAO you have never even seen me before...just stop now dude, you are starting to look stupid....and what the fuck is a troll? is that the new insult you hipsters are calling each other these days?...see how defensive u get when someone points out your homosexual tendencies? SOUNDS like someone is in denial
@Skateoftheunion oh my jesus, you do exist....this kid actually made a thought...ayyyyy yo bitch, get on yo knees and pray to the curly haired white man for the miracle he's just given you
wow i wish the stardust and stars arnt in the way so we can see the center but they are so far that its possibly 1,000,000,000,000 years away and the center/nebula is big to bad where i live has so many light pollution i can only see about 100 stars max
@greenappleiceblended Its not just visible in Texas its visible anywhere anytime you are facing the center of the milky way at night when there is no light pollution. You have to get miles away from any city to see something like this.
Whoa... Ive tried to see this from by back yard but never got close to this (Iowa skies r not as interesting) just makes me wonder if there is other life out there
This is astounding. Having lived in and around big cities all my life, I've never had the privilege to actually see what the Milky Way looks like, we've only gotten to see a haze of light so pale it's almost invisible. And that was way up North. Thank you for uploading this. You've given those who have no way of seeing such a spectacular thing a chance to see it. :)
Why are people so worried about the end of the world? If the world "ends", everything does. All reasons to fear death is because other people will live on when you're dead (Maybe you're not aware of it, but that's the way it is). If everyone dies, then dying yourself is nothing special or terrifying. Life will not go on without you. You wont miss out on anything. Everyone suffers the same fate as you do. Stop worrying and start thinking properly.
the sun is getting closer to the milky way and it was taken on 2009. imagine if its true that when the sun aligns to the milky way something catastrophic will happen.
@CzarThePlezer im not paranoid about the end of time. I myself would be really stoked to witness and experience the end of the world that the ancient people predicted. its crazy i know but IF it happens then it happens.
The sun aligns with the SMBH (super-massive-black-hole) at the galactic centre EVERY year on dec 21st.... and nothing happens.
The sun is of course most likely travelling towards the centre. But if you consider that this galaxy is 100,000 light years across (that is at the speed of light, it will take you 100,000 years to get to the other side) we will never make it near the centre in our species life time, or probably even the solar systems life time.
People think we are so insignificant in the universe, because we are small and the universe is big. But I sometimes feel the opposite because I (and we) came from these stars.
How and when can I see this magnificent display for myself?! I have never seen anything like that can it be viewed with the human eye alone? I realize it would have to be during the part of the year when we are nearest to the center and the sun is not blocking our view. Please respond I am having difficulty finding information about this using google searches. And thank you for this amazing video!!
@RobbyRichards You need to head out to the country to some dark skies to see the milky way with the naked eye. I went up in the desert mountains and it was absolutely amazing. I think everyone should see the night sky from a remote dark sky location at least once in their lives!
@EREV0LUTION That's interesting, as if there was a Big Bang, then theoretically, as long as matter is not being produced from nothing, then there is a finite chance of anything happening, as matter can only change states/energy forms, and there is as much matter now as there was when the Universe was created.
@EREV0LUTION well that's the interesting thing, as there is a possibility that matter COULD be made from nothing, and just randomly expand into space, don't know the technicalities, but this is the theory as to how the big bang occurred. Imagine it as bubbles that form and expand quickly. But the original statement still stands, that there is a finite amount of matter, so a finite amount of possibilities of states of matter must occur, although this number will be in the billions of trillions.
Seen this video tens of times on different sites, but it never fails to amaze me. Wish my skies were that darks, my timelapse & photos always turn out to be crap.
Was this in a rural area? I just really wanna do a time lapse of the stars some time in the future, but where I live there's too much light pollution...I think, because if this was in an urban area I guess it would work well?
The trick is to have a long exposure time, like the start of the video says, they used 20 seconds. This means that the shutter was open for 20 seconds, allowing lots of light in, and giving a brighter picture of the stars.
There is no way yet to answer if there is intelligent design or pure random chaos..I honestly feel like we like in a computer program...there seem to be too many random laws...we have entropy but life is can't survive without some sort of order...
Evolution...etc etc...
All these laws just seem to perfect for life...and something must have had a hand in design all this...but then again who cares.
nice...

If everyone dies, then dying yourself is nothing special or terrifying. Life will not go on without you. You wont miss out on anything. Everyone suffers the same fate as you do. Stop worrying and start thinking properly.

@Andrewbohs No, that is how it looks from absolutely clear skies and far from the lights of the city.

the sun is getting closer to the milky way and it was taken on 2009. imagine if its true that when the sun aligns to the milky way something catastrophic will happen.
rekcah07 1 year ago
@rekcah07 Our sun IS part of the Milky Way...that is our galaxy. Noting catastrophic is about to happen.

Stop being paranoid, if it's the end then accept it, your life is insignificant when you consider how large the universe really is

@CzarThePlezer im not paranoid about the end of time. I myself would be really stoked to witness and experience the end of the world that the ancient people predicted. its crazy i know but IF it happens then it happens.

The sun aligns with the SMBH (super-massive-black-hole) at the galactic centre EVERY year on dec 21st.... and nothing happens.
The sun is of course most likely travelling towards the centre. But if you consider that this galaxy is 100,000 light years across (that is at the speed of light, it will take you 100,000 years to get to the other side) we will never make it near the centre in our species life time, or probably even the solar systems life time.

People think we are so insignificant in the universe, because we are small and the universe is big. But I sometimes feel the opposite because I (and we) came from these stars.

We are in the Milkey Way Galaxy. In an outer arm. This is really cool.

This proves again that the Canon EOS-5D is a 'state of the art' camera!! I wished we had this kind of night-views in Germany!!!

How and when can I see this magnificent display for myself?! I have never seen anything like that can it be viewed with the human eye alone? I realize it would have to be during the part of the year when we are nearest to the center and the sun is not blocking our view. Please respond I am having difficulty finding information about this using google searches. And thank you for this amazing video!!

@RobbyRichards You need to head out to the country to some dark skies to see the milky way with the naked eye. I went up in the desert mountains and it was absolutely amazing. I think everyone should see the night sky from a remote dark sky location at least once in their lives!

if space has an infinate volume which many believe and so do i. then life outside of earth is garanteed because there is infinate possibilities.

@EREV0LUTION That's interesting, as if there was a Big Bang, then theoretically, as long as matter is not being produced from nothing, then there is a finite chance of anything happening, as matter can only change states/energy forms, and there is as much matter now as there was when the Universe was created.
Dazmaster75 1 year ago
@Dazmaster75 hmm i suppose, but how did the matter get there in the first place. thats all i want to know haha
EREV0LUTION 1 year ago
@EREV0LUTION well that's the interesting thing, as there is a possibility that matter COULD be made from nothing, and just randomly expand into space, don't know the technicalities, but this is the theory as to how the big bang occurred. Imagine it as bubbles that form and expand quickly. But the original statement still stands, that there is a finite amount of matter, so a finite amount of possibilities of states of matter must occur, although this number will be in the billions of trillions.

Seen this video tens of times on different sites, but it never fails to amaze me. Wish my skies were that darks, my timelapse & photos always turn out to be crap.

So it's true... The stars at night, are big and bright...
Seriously, I wish I had a fisheye lense so I could do this.

Was this in a rural area? I just really wanna do a time lapse of the stars some time in the future, but where I live there's too much light pollution...I think, because if this was in an urban area I guess it would work well?

The trick is to have a long exposure time, like the start of the video says, they used 20 seconds. This means that the shutter was open for 20 seconds, allowing lots of light in, and giving a brighter picture of the stars.
Hope that helped.

There is no way yet to answer if there is intelligent design or pure random chaos..I honestly feel like we like in a computer program...there seem to be too many random laws...we have entropy but life is can't survive without some sort of order...
Evolution...etc etc...
All these laws just seem to perfect for life...and something must have had a hand in design all this...but then again who cares.
