Explanation:
Clouds and sky both show illuminating changes during this time lapse video from the
south of Australia.
In the foreground are scenes visible over a rocky coastline toward the
Southern Ocean.
Dark clouds flow across the sky, sometimes from different directions, sometimes blocking
background starlight, but other times causing stars to appear to flare as they move
in front.
In the first sequence, looking toward the southwest, a nearly vertical band of
zodiacal light is seen at sunset just before the
band of the
Milky Way Galaxy appears to settle into the sea.
Soon the unusual dark patch of the
Coal Sack Nebula can be seen on the Milky Way band, near
the
famous Southern
Cross.
Later, looking toward the southeast at about 2:10 in the video,
Orion can be seen rising appearing nearly perpendicular to
how it rises in northern skies.
The composite video, winner of an award
STARMUS
astrophotography competition, took over a year to compile in 2009 and 2010 from
over 30 hours of exposure.
Mini-mystery:
what are those lights moving along the horizon?
