    The Night Sky Recorded Using a Fisheye Lens

    I’m a certified time-lapse freak. I love ‘em. Beautiful as they are, the only problem with most of them is that you can only see a tiny portion of the sky at any one time. Come to think of it, that’s kind of a problem with sky-watching in general, eh? Pesky focused binocular vision!

    Stephane Vetter solved this problem by filming this time-lapse with an 8 mm fisheye lens. The result? The entire sky in one shot, including some informative labels and beautiful star trails. Set it to HD, sit back, and enjoy.

    Best thing since this beautiful panoramic auroral mini-planet.

  7. astronomy

    the subjects great and all but my lab class is 100% bullshit

    my TA’s have definitely labeled me crazy. one refused to answer my question today, despite making eye contact several times. I then stated “I have another question” while making eye contact and he awkwardly wandered away.

    In the end though - I’m still 4.0ing this class, so my lame and terrible TAs can go to hell. Crazy? Crazy because I actually care about the subject enough to call you out on your horrible teaching methods and try and learn and ask questions?

    Yeah, you can fuck off.

  9. jtotheizzoe: unlikelywords: Holy crap this wind map is gorgeous. Click the image so you can watch it move. “This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US right now.” Via @anildash You really need to click through and look at this. Orders of magnitude more amazing when you can watch it move in real-time. If you’re feeling windy today, you should also check out this kinetic sculpture by Charles Sowers called “Windswept”, made of 612 freely-rotating wind arrows. Stunningly hypnotic video:

    “I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars” - Neil deGrasse Tyson  

    Just when you thought that Dr. Tyson’s video exploration of everything that makes us special in our world and beyond couldn’t get any better, it gets the GIF treatment. Nice work.

    Watch it again, and then again.
