"This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. Visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories." http://vimeo.com/22439234

Nothing like watching all those stars to make you feel completely insignificant. Awesome video.

I ate a Snickers while watching the Milkyway. hehheh.

Beautiful and pretty music too.

That was pretty awesome. It is crazy to see how the stars "stay in place" in the sky as the earth turns. Amazing.

I'm not into camping, but I'd like to camp there for awhile. I guess it would be a tough climb though, hehe.

It's also pretty remote, being in the Canary Islands, and an active volcano.

The Bad Astronomer has one from Western Australia here http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/04/22/australian-outback-time-lapse/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BadAstronomyBlog+%28Bad+Astronomy%29

The aurora borealis one is friggin incredible. I've only seen them once and they were just like heat lightning.

I subscribe to the Bad Astronomer and get daily mailings which have these links, which are really fascinating.

When I was around 10yo, you could see the Milky Way from where we lived in Shreveport. I can remember my Dad telling me how long it took for the light to get from the stars to us, and how we were a part of the Milky Way, etc, and feeling very small and insignificant. I still feel that way, but it keeps me in place.
