ESO ALMA Antenna Time Lapse #1 [720p]

[MrASTP93]

0:34 what is this near the center of milky way?

[janny0boy]

holy crap...the only time I've seen the stars like that was when I was camping in the outback in Australia. It is beautiful!

[geostigma123]

LIGHT POLLUTION SUCKS!

[bailesie]

Fuuucck this video makes you feel impossibly small...... Absolutely incredible

[mazya400]

私のような一般人でも行くことはできるのでしょうか・・・

[Ilir7777]

Does it look like that when you stand there? Because I've never seen something alike with my own eyes, or is it rendered from a computer.

[Annoyingthing321]

Honeymoon - SORTED

[1701what]

Amazing! This is the first time I've been able to get a sense of the depth of the galaxy. It's so hard to get past seeing it as a sort of 2-D background.

[toothfareie]

does the sky look like that every night there?

[thatuglyguy1]

Is this computer generated or is it the real deal? Cuz honestly this is the first time I've ever seen this type of stuff -_- I live near a major city and I know that if you live near major cities that its hard to see stuff in the night sky. So is it possible to go somewhere in the world where there is no major city within 600 miles and see this kind of stuff?

[1701what]

Fantastic video! Thanks!

[Eduardoaamp]

00:25

"ALL ! LOOK ! A FALLING STAR !"

*Telescopes point that way*

lol

[ZealDaan]

Seeing this makes you realize how small and insignificant Sarah Palin is.

[marsist92]

When you see the eternal majesty of the Universe, you realize all your troubles and worries are but vanitas vanitatum.

[CaptainUkraine]

[discoron77]

"This is TNA. The new face in professional wrestling."

[SoUtterlyIrrelevant]

That is amazing!

[KSaebinMusic]

Wow.

[elkillodemedina]

impresionanteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­.

[bymacorg20]

Nice time-lapse movie! smooth! Do you know you can make time-lpase movies with any camera with this device: (copy address to browser): tempusALL.bymac.org

Works with ANY camera! cool :P

[CatherineCoffeebean]

This may be a stupid question, but is this video or still images?

[zeuselrayo]

great vid, amazing to see the milky way so clearly.

[aleidy777]

Hi, ive been trying to figure out if people use standard batteries, extended batteries or if there is some sort of power cable you can buy for your camera to get longer timelapses. beautiful time lapses

[diegoportales33]

La tierra es solo un punto pequeño en el universo.......debe haber vida en la Via Lactea o en otras galaxias....

.

[patient451]

this alone makes me wonder why we don't look at this at night and just want to devote the entirety of our sentience to its exploration.

[LOLMAN22]

so incredible!!! DAMN I LOVE THE UNIVERSE

[Nummi31]

AWESOME!!! REALLY NICE

[0pteryx]

What are those lights flying through the skies? Planes, satellites?

[djxatlanta]

@0pteryx - they're planes... low-orbiting satellites wouldn't be that bright in the middle of the night -- because they shine from reflected sunlight, they're brightest after sunset and before sunrise.

[djla1]

@djxatlanta i think your wrong. you can see satellites all night. dam you can even watch the iss come over no matter what time it goes over and thats low

[kyle7412]

WOw, this is amazing. Just to think Earth to us humans is home and everything we have known for all of history. Earth to the universe is just another planet. If we were destroyed the universe would go on and if life was out there it wouldn't know we existed. It's hard to imagine the size of outer space..... just look at every one of those stars and the thought of each of them having solar systems..... we cannot even imagine what lies out there. and we may never know.

[SenhordoBonfim]

0:27 - A shooting star goes by and the satellites turn as if to say, "What was that?"

[kboy09]

Wow. This is beautiful. For a few seconds, i felt i was in space.

[finipops]

I want a view like that without the city lights ruining everything. Stunning video.

[Taintered]

This is beautiful..

[marc1tonio]

Thank you for replying. I'm afraid your information is not accurate. The Bible book of Isaiah was completed circa 732 B.C.E.(B.C) and the first Muslim wasn't born until 570 C.E.(A.D). A 1300 year difference in time does not make them contemporaries. It was in the 4th century that Plato proposed the novel idea of a spherical Earth. 4 centuries apart does not make them contemporaries. Isaiah says his info is from off planet.

[cybasterss]

キレイだ！

[djxatlanta]

@cybasterss - 宇宙は美しい場所です。

[Venim85]

@cybasterss

That's what she said?

[marc1tonio]

So true!

[marc1tonio]

I would compare the programing of something like Google Earth and the mind set of a grass hopper, to the organization of our known universe and the mind set of self destructive humanity and then consider it gross egotistism to rule out the existence of a higher life form. Read Isiah 40:22 and you'll see the concept is not of my originality. What science was there 2700 years ago, telling the writer the Earth was a circle?

[djxatlanta]

@marc1tonio - contemporary to the time when the various books of the Bible were written, there were already excellent works of science being produced by Muslims, Indians and especially Greeks, who had already deduced Earth was round from observations of the Earth's shadow on the moon during lunar eclipses and in fact was a sphere from observing the different sizes of shadows cast by sticks hundreds of miles apart on the same longitude at the same day and time.

[marc1tonio]

@djxatlanta - Here's another one for you. The Bible says the Earth is hanging on nothing. Written by Moses circa 1473 B.C.E. in the book of Job chapter 26 verse 7. This was at the time the Greeks were saying the Earth was held up by Atlas and the Hindu's were saying that animals were holding it up. The idea of nothing holding it up would have been ridiculous. Only an entity from off planet could relate the info.

[derky101]

@djxatlanta The oldest book of the bible, Job, actually refers to the earth as being round. This book far predates the Greeks, certainly the Muslims (as Islam did not appear until long after the old testament had been finalized), and maybe the Indians(I do not know much about the Indians, so I cannot pretend to know with certainty on that fact).

[derky101]

@djxatlanta The interesting thing about the Greeks though is that while having no Jewish culture penetrating their existence, Aristotle reasoned very close to a God that sounded like the Jewish YHWH, and Socrates reasoned to there being only one God.

[MissWhiteMoth]

@djxatlanta excellent!

[TheHowks]

@djxatlanta Bravo sir, finally some logic on youtube.

[RandomnessTube]

if there is a god he is very artistic :)

[RandomnessTube]

@choleraNOVA depends on what god means to you... i think there is more even bigger stuff than the universe.

[christianovi123]

ignorante



[RandomnessTube]

@christianovi123 twat

[ajinjoseph1]

earth is round but sky is flat

[djxatlanta]

@choleraNOVA - I'm an atheist, but at the same time I recognize that the vastness of the universe is exactly why some people feel it could only have been created. Although I'm of the opinion that people who believe in God are misguided, atheists should not be above tolerance for those who choose to believe. =)

[Sneezlebob]

@djxatlanta I'm a Christian, I dont care if you dont believe, just dont enforce your beliefs on me

[Sneezlebob]

@death0metal When did I say they were?

[nothing28967]

HOLY CRAP

[badkluster]

At 0:26 it's like "What was that? Aw, we were looking the other way!"

[jednoucelovy]

@badkluster lol, that was cute :-D

[carnivoriousleaf]

Man when you time lapse the night sky it looks fake. It's like someone's just moving a sheet.

[Darkhelboy]

0:25 O M G 

[Skrean]

Awesome timelapse, it could use a little space music though ;-)

[dellzzzzzz]

what kind of camera was used making this time lapse ?

[djxatlanta]

@dellzzzzzz - visit the photographer's website (listed at the bottom of the accompanying text description), and he should have that information. =)

[kyle7412]

what I would give to be out there for 1 night......

[TheHectorbasurto]

The mlky way!!!

[TheHectorbasurto]

This is one of the most beautiful things i´ve ever seen!!! I really love this Planet!!! Congratulations for this video djxatlanta!!!

[thisiswraith]

id do anything to park my car upt, lie on the roof, get as high as i could, and just watch all night..

[djxatlanta]

@thisiswraith - spark it! =)

[slyman928]

ufo at 0:34

[djxatlanta]

@slyman928 - hardly... airplane or ISS.

[Chrischn89]

Now imagine hundreds of other civilizations out there looking at the center of our galaxy just the way we do...

[hellmut0]

hi!

i'd like to know when you shot these videos.

I was in the atacama just 2 weeks ago (saw the alma site from the road) and we couldn't see the stars cause of the clouds that covered the sky every night (i'm desperate: i spent a week there and couldn't shoot anything =[ )

[hellmut0]

@hellmut0

ok, it was in june (cf the website linked)

[lotus3232]

un IMMENSE *** MERCI *** pour ces extra-ordinaires images ;-)))

[strifed169]

is that the milky way?

[djxatlanta]

@strifed169 - yes it is... anyone can see the night sky nearly as breathtaking as this -- all they need to do is go well out into the country far away from city lights. I used to see some incredible night skies in rural Michigan and Ontario growing up. This region of Chile has some of the best sky-watching conditions on the planet -- clear skies and very dry air all year-round.

[strifed169]

@djxatlanta thats incredible, everytime i look up i wish i can see it like that, but near a city there is only maybe 10-20 stars as much as i can see

[Gladstube]

WOOOOW!!!!

[SnakeEatersz]

Fullscreen this 720p. It actually feels like i'm floating in space...

[Designandrew]

Can you please tell us the camera settings and most importantly what kind of lens are you using? Wide I know but how many mm?

[djxatlanta]

@Designandrew - Visit the photographer's website at josefrancisco [dot] org -- there you can click over to his Flickr account, and many of his photos contain EXIF data that would answer your question. In this case, 1,065 25-sec exposures at ISO 2500 with a Nikon D700, 14-24mm f/2.8G.

[LsBaba]

Beautiful.

[Pinky2950]

This is why science is so fucking awesome.

[Cougar333]

So many satellites.

[unknown1771]

Are there any places in NY that allow you to see a night sky such as this? Is it completely hopeless if you live in a city? This is so insanely beautiful I just wish I could see it with my own eyes and for longer than only 1 minute or so. If someone made a video like this that lasted 10 minutes I could watch the entire thing, it's memorizing. I wish NASA got a higher budget so we could do more than just look up =(

[isocrate27]

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because uh some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future...

[SkeletonRiver]

i seen aliens!

[SpookyFan]

Awesome.

[TerranOutpost]

At 34 seconds, stare at the very center of the screen. What are those slow moving dots?

[djxatlanta]

@TerranOutpost - considering it's right before sunrise, my guess is that it's either the International Space Station or more likely an iridium flare -- a temporary sharp increase in brightness of the GPS satellites due to their solar panels catching the light of the sun. Iridium flares, which are often more brilliant than the planet Venus, can be seen worldwide... appearance predictions are published well in advance through multiple websites and phone apps (Heavens Above, for example).

[bbunters]

@TerranOutpost

As djxatlanta says, most likely the ISS. Great footage!

[markdp123]

Great view of the disc of the Milky Way rotating inward.

Just think, Kepler telescope found evidence of 50 billion planets in our galaxy alone.

5 million of them might be in the Goldilocks zone where life could exist.

[PhaTs00p]

boring

[Rosalila]

this really makes me feel like I'm sitting in a spinning carousel!

[coffeeNTrees]

Because of this video about 11 bible thumping non-critical thinkers are starting to think more clearly about what it is to be precariously perched atop a rock hurling through spacetime.

[MATROSRUTERFORD]

CREATIO EX NIHILO

[iampivot]

Anyone know what's flying across a small part of the sky at 0:35? All the other planes you can see fly across the whole visible sky.

[Gytax0]

@iampivot Many things can be: starting from a private plane, ending with an International Space Station.

[djxatlanta]

@iampivot - considering it's right before sunrise, my guess is that it's either the International Space Station or more likely an iridium flare -- a temporary sharp increase in brightness of the GPS satellites due to their solar panels catching the light of the sun. Iridium flares, which are often more brilliant than the planet Venus, can be seen worldwide... appearance predictions are published well in advance through multiple websites and phone apps (Heavens Above, for example).

[MrSkullface]

every time i remember we are a rock in space, i grab on to something and hold on to dear life and try to enjoy the ride.

[schzztzrz]

5 people just became aware that we are a rock flying through space

[SefGray]

Amazing 47secs off footage but it could use some/any music or sound.

[djxatlanta]

@SefGray - knock yourself out... I provided a link to the source file at the bottom of the video description. =)

[PariahFish]

@SefGray

watch this shit listening to Origine Nascosta by Ludovico Einaudi and strap in for the ride.

[MiracleBlueMusic]

All I want is a 1080P wallpaper of the galactic centre with the blue sky just starting to form. That was an amazing image.

[facelessraceless]

Wow! This video is amazing!

[xSolraccarloSx]

Makes me feel like I'm gonna sling off the face of the planet.

[jurel11]

excelente muy bueno¡ felciitaciones¡



[ericunderscores]

oh my gods, frakking beautiful.

[samuraifoo]

It's shameful that every society isn't devoted to such things. We consider ourselves intelligent, and yet we waste life and time killing each other, usually out of simple greed or over a belief.

[matthewamac]

Can you go there and just watch that or do you need a special permit?

[CrestalMyth]

I've never been this content with feeling so nauseous.

[mahcuz]

@CrestalMyth nauseated :P 

[xarukanox]

0:26 that shooting star to the right must have been there for a long time if this is time lapsed.

[Badhabitsjay]

@xarukanox There's also 2 in the top left at 0:41, slightly harder to see, just before it starts getting lighter.

[thepeoplzchamp]

@xarukanox It was probably a plane

[MAdk1p]

America aing better off because tax paying americans are paying for these giant TV satellite dishes to look for ilegal aliens. CUT PBS SPENDING ITS A SOCIALISM

[MultigrainPie]

@GLBahnsen Yes. You would be able to see more stars everywhere if there was no light pollution.

[Badhabitsjay]

@GLBahnsen Yes, this is what the sky looks like on a clear night.

The sky you see in a town or city is polluted by light and you can not see the vast majority of stars that you would normally see in genuine darkness.

[ara6767]

Удивительно!!!

[boycraz]

watch with the song Angelica by Lamb in the background

[epidemicz]

This stuff will never get old to me. 

[shinunotenshi]

Oh wow... that just blew my mind! I've never seen anything like it!

[buchan23]

so gangster

[sniggity]

beautiful

[cyrosaurus]

damn that's amazing... i wish i could watch that in the sky all day... instead, i'm cooped up in a fluorescently lit room studying and working.... boooooooooo

[DarkMessiBan]

Aliens kept flashing lights, spooky.

[over9000bottlecaps]

its like time in minecraft

[YouGotBEES]

how are we not dead yet?

[gumpdy]

This video and the rotating earthy really gives you the sense that we're just floating around in the milky way like no other.

[girlmastergeneral]

That is so beautiful!! The world is a wonderus place.

[d3rsty]

@girlmastergeneral *Universe"

[chickenlover01]

That was incredible.

[L1fescape]

What I'd give to see the Milky Way while the sun is up... 0:43

[quackpipe]

i have a Canon 5d with some nice glass and an invervelometer. I would love to start rocking some timelapses, what are your settings? Aperature, fstop, ISO, etc?

[dE3L]

what is that moving through the sky @0:35?

[quackpipe]

@dE3L I was going to say it's probably a satellite, but it just appears and disappears ... weird.

[dE3L]

@quackpipe - probably - it's moving too slow to be a shooting star. yes weird it appears then disappears, maybe the moonlight or sun is being reflected during that time.

[Tribune12345]

@dE3L Shooting star...?

If you've ever seen one, it seems that they rarely make it very far before poofing out of view.

[dE3L]

@Tribune12345 - it's moving to slow to be a shooting star. i'm thinking satellite.

[sjg0546]

0:24 shooting star

[kennmac]

@sjg0546 Doubtful. A shooting star would consume maybe one or two frames, and at the frame-rate of this video, it wouldn't be noticeable. It was more likely a passing satellite refracting sunlight back to earth when it was a specific angle to us. Or possibly an aircraft. After looking at it again, it was almost definitely an aircraft.

[cultemail]

muy bueno, gracias!

[akshaygoa]

too good

[amomo416]

oh my god...oh my ....god ....

[Dinglebarriez]

@amomo416 God has nothing to do with it.

[euphoriaaus]

@amomo416 I see no god up there

[colin749]

@euphoriaaus God you atheists are the biggest, elitist douche bags on the face of the earth. Can you not just enjoy this video without belittling ill-minded faith? You're worse than that group over on reddit, they keep giving my computer viruses.

[41intelectual]

@colin749 Relax bro...

[MrAreWeThereYet]

@colin749 Hey dude, just chill.

[FlthingDubman]

@colin749 HAHAHAHA how the F did nobody see that this was sarcastic -.- its a Reddit joke, but do not check it out, we WILL give your Computers Viruses.

Anyway did anybody see the "UFO" (UFO in the Meaning of i dont know what it is !) ist just a blinkin white spot starting at about 0:14 lasting about 2 seconds, in the middle of the screen

[KrAzYkArL18769]

@FlthingDubman yeah i saw that..... and the one at 0:33 too..... it crosses the galactic plane just to the right of center

[TirailleurSorel]

@euphoriaaus The most crucial hallmark of an intelligent individual is respecting divergent opinions.

Agnostic, atheist, Suuni, Buddhist, Catholic...It doesn't matter. We're all brothers and sisters, and should respect each others opinions, and just...sit and observe the beauty.

[Blestyr]

@euphoriaaus I second that.

[marc1tonio]

@euphoriaaus The same argument applies to a person's brain...if I can't see it then it's not there?

[nasocosa]

It's so breath-taking!!!!

[JimboWizbo]

I'd do anything to be up there for a night
