The Earth spins on its axis relatively fast, but is barely perceptable to the naked eye. Through the magic of time lapse photography, the apparent motion of the heavens created by Earth's spin is recorded in these 1686 real images of an entire night's sky, photographed every 21 seconds then composited into one moving image. Polaris was specifically targeted to show the center of rotation overhead.

These images were shot in Santa Clarita, California, with a Canon SX10-is, 20 second exposure, f2.9, ISO-400

The soundtrack is "Sky Spy" (Alt-Rev Mix2 RR) from the StarSpin EP/CD by Technician (yours truly). Full artist discography, MP3 downloads and CDs are available at the Technician website: HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com

  • Um......this is not the Earth rotating, thats the stars movong relative to the Earth!

    Thats the stars moving!

    Earth don't move, and I beg you to prove it through an expirment!

  • I think that physically, you could look at it either way and be correct - it all just depends on your point of view! =)

  • great !

  • Glad you enjoyed the show - thanks so much for watching! =D

  • @byranmichelle wait what? Why don't you think the Earth moves?

  • @byranmichelle the earth could be rotating...its the view of the stars that u would see rotating

  • Doskonałe!

  • @10sup10 thanks for that this guy makes me ill

  • I'm dead serious!

    You only believe the things you believe because thats what they told you to believe...

    Have you ever questioned the things you have been taught?

    try and prove the Earth spins!

    we ALL see what appears to be the sun, moon, and stars moving across thr sky

    How do you prove that it isnt actually doing that?

  • @byranmichelle For the sake of intelligence and basic astronomy, I hope that was a joke..

  • True.....we could look at it either way, but we should deal with reality! How can one look at it any other way?

    Can we actually take an omnipotent point of view?

    No!

    We cannot look down on our solar system to see whats going on, pure fantasy!

    Here from Earth.......thats our perspective, thats our frame of reference! From the inside looking out!

    We see everything going around us!

    What experiment is there to demostrate that this isn't actually happening?----> NONE!

  • Food for thought:

    Star trails......

    You take a picture at night capturing the path of the stars at night......pointing towards the mountains.

    You end up also capturing passing cars and passing planes.

    You end up with light trails for the stars, the plane, and the cars.......

    Whats moving?

    Remember.......motion is all relative!

    ANSWER: They are all moving relative to the Earth, where every single humanbeing lives!

    wake up people! We have to think about what actually could be true!

  • You only believe it moves because thats what they been telling us.

    Its a theory!

    A fact is this:

    We all can see the sun rising and setting!

    We can look at fossils!

    But .....what do you believe about them facts!
