Incredible time lapse photography of the Milky Way

From http://www.space.com/11443-video-milky-spain-mountain-sorgjerd.html - Video basically speaks for itself. Gorgeous!!  (

Have you ever wondered what it's like to sit atop a volcanic peak in the Canary Islands, gazing up at the brilliant stars of the Milky Way as a Saharan sandstorm billows all around you?

Well, wonder no more. Norwegian landscape photographer Terje Sorgjerd captured this stunning scene — and many others — in his new three-minute video, "The Mountain," which he posted to the website Vimeo on April 15.)

Wow -- whenever I see those types of videos, I keep trying to remind myself that its us that's moving, not the sky. And just how we're so, so, so, so small....

Beautiful. Thanks for posting!
