Night Sky
Here's a great time lapse film of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, as it dances across the skies of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
The film was shot by an astronomy student, Sean Goebel, and is based on photos the young man took all by himself and set to his own choice of music by an Irish group - called God is an Astronaut, would you believe, and the track in question is titled All Is Violent, All Is Bright.
The lasers from the giant telescopes help to eliminate the blurring effect of the earth's atmosphere apparently and the result is truly spectacular, as you can see.
What I find amazing about images like this one, is the sheer size and scale of the universe even though in Sean's film we see only a tiny fraction of of what's out there - millions and billions of stars and galaxies stretching countless light years across the vastness of space.
Yet some people still believe that the Planet Earth is at the centre of things, as they did in the Dark Ages, when religion teaching insisted that the world was created in only 7 days by almighty Supreme Being - who sees and knows everything - and takes a mighty peculiar interest in the third rock from our Sun.
