Time Lapse Sky Shows Earth Rotating Instead of Stars (fixed audio)

Here is a minor edit to the excellent video by Stephane Guisard and Jose Francisco Salgado, posted at Nicolas Bustos channel. Visit http://eso.org for more about the European Southern Observatory.

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.

Absolutely. That was my favorite part. I wish there were other time lapse video owners out there willing to allow this editing to be done to their work.

We area tiny speck of dust in an infinite universe.

Go ahead and treat yourself today to an ice cream sundae, with nuts.

5 people think the Earth is flat

How come it never goes all the way around, if you believe this I feel sorry for you!!!!!

[Immortalsouls]

The movement of the Earth in these videos only proves that the Earth doesn't rotate. It's impossible for the Earth to be making these movements on a rotational axis.

Scientists and NASA are liars!

Orange. Sorry to ruin it for you, but its orange

[AutoPsychotic]

Exactly! Ergo, not impossible. My point stands.

[TheSkepticSkwerl]

thats like saying its impossible that lightning is electricity

[Medovukha]

Dont forget Blue Moon, best mystery flavor yet.

[AutoPsychotic]

Sorry, but you're wrong. There's nothing impossible about that at all. Advancements in science and understanding do not make the possible impossible. It may grant us a higher understanding of the probability (or in this case, improbability) of realizing such ideas, however it has absolutely no effect on said improbability.
