The time-lapse starfield has been edited to show the rotation of the Earth from the point of view of the stars.

At http://youtu.be/wFpeM3fxJoQ is the original video by Guisard and Salgado.

At http://astrosurf.com/sguisard/ and http://josefrancisco.org/ are more pictures from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) located in the Atacama Desert, Chile.

  • How about we have a top comment not about religion. Maybe bacon? I like bacon.

  • I checked the comments for some, "Wow - this is really cool" type comments and found a religious debate. Lame, people. We should be talking about how awesome this video is. Ugh.

  • @samdreampeace Actually, we are the center of the visible universe.

  • some really good stuff here

  • great video thanks

  • @cmonutube might not be able to see with the naked eye but with those kinds of cameras it's possible.

  • @wtfisthis6 lol you're a dumbass.. it's not the centre of the universe... go back to science class and listen.

  • Cut short there dunno how, the earth is way to small to get something as large as the sun to orbit it, as stars go our sun is pretty small, but the gravity it has is still immense, how do you think it gets Pluto to orbit it? Which is on average 3.67 billion miles away from it, and the rest of the kuiper belt (in which Pluto is situated) which would be even further away, in my opinion it would be impossible for the earth to have any influence on the movement of the sun.

    Great video too ;)
