I was once laying on the ground looking up into a clear starry sky, and suddenly felt as if I were looking down into space. I felt suspended, stuck against the ceiling of the earth only held there by what seemed very tenuous gravity. I wanted to grab something to hold on, as if gravity might let go and I would fall a very, very long way down. No, no drugs. Like an optical illusion, and quite scary.

[@sunsetsam33]

@@markthegreat3774 Yeah, I get that, which is why I put "suffering" in quotes. It was the actual fear of falling that was startling, like a momentary panic attack or serious vertigo. It was also accompanied by the sky looking very 3 dimensional, with the stars at lots of different depths, which heightened the perception of the very vast distance and the height at which I was suspended, and how great the fall would be, with nothing physically holding me up against the earth. But falling into space would be quite an adventure I must admit.

[@rpbajb]

[@blim76]

@@my3dviews How does it offset the path of earth round the sun, and the sun round the milky way?

[@my3dviews]

@@blim76 It runs at a rotational speed of once every 23 hours and 56 minutes in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation. That length of time is called a sidereal day. It takes into account the Earth's rotation and the Earth's motion around the sun. The sun's motion around the milky way is negligible in angular velocity, so no need to factor that in. In a 12 hour period you wouldn't notice any motion of the galaxy. Even over long periods of time the star patterns (made up of mostly nearby stars) barely change, since they are all orbiting the milky way in the same direction at almost the same velocity as us. There are rare exceptions like Bernard's Star which has noticeable motion, when comparing photos several years apart. But in a 12 hour period, that small amount of motion is imperceptible.

It is unnerving to those who only realize this fact when they see these kinds of videos and all the rest of times get so deeply lost in all the crap that we have made up for ourselves around us. To realize that we are so lost in the emptiness of space and that our earth has no one to ask for help if it needs it any point and that it is protecting everything in it with a teeny tiny atmosphere over it, makes me humble and grateful, right down to my core. We do not see this view at all because of all the light pollution that exists around us in most places but there are places where the universe really shows you the best views that you will ever see with your eyes! Some folks like the photographer who shot this, capture it and presents it in a way that makes one stare in wonder looking at the view that is on top of our heads most of the time but simply is unaware of it!

JnouBy ... Camera attached to an equatorial mount turning at sidereal rate.

[@inx1819]

@@florencegomer7937 yea explains everything

[@SoufianeTahiri]

From the artist : As our planet makes its way around the Sun, it rotates on an axis that runs from north to south, spinning at roughly 1,600 kilometres per hour (1,000 miles per hour). The time it takes to complete this rotation is called a sidereal day, which is not exactly 24 hours - it's more like 23.9344696 hours. The mount, therefore, works by rotating at the same rate and along the same axis as our own planet, but in the opposite direction. "Equatorial mounts are aligned to the North Star and rotate the camera at a rate of 15° per hour which is the same rate of Earth's rotation," says Nirenberg, "so the camera follows the stars in the sky, and the camera remains pointed at the same part of the sky no matter how many hours pass."

[@frankbaratta3980]

I'm an amateur astronomer and am familiar with tracking devices for astrophotography. But let's begin first with what's happening due to earth's rotation. To us, the sun (for example) appears to rise in the east and set in the west. This is because the earth is actually rotating from our west to east. (That's why the west coast's clock time is earlier than the east coast's.) So, the western horizon (seen from wherever we are located) is turning toward the sun, which bit by bit brings it higher and higher in our sky until mid-day. Then, as earth's rotation continues over the course of the day, the sun descends lower and lower as the western horizon continues approaching it. Sunset occurs when the sun and western horizon turning toward it make contact, with the sun eventually disappearing as western horizon continues turning eastward. Now, consider what happens if I have a camera on a tracking device such that the camera (properly filtered to avoid blinding the photographer) is locked onto the sun. The tracking device will rotate the camera to keep up with the sun as the earth turns in the opposite direction. As a result, the camera will turn toward the western horizon in the same way that the sun appears to move toward that horizon. Thus, the western horizon will appear to move from right (west) to left (east) across the view finder frame, as shown in the video. Another commenter said this essentially, but didn't go into the detail that I have. Hope this helps.

[@Taricus]

the galactic plane is inclined to the elliptic plane, so that's why it moves at a weird angle, too 🙃

Hi. When you say this is the view looking "outward," do you mean that we (the camera is) facing away from the center of the spiral, and the southern hemisphere 's view is TOWARD the center? @Aryeh Nirenberg, thanks for this video. I love aids like this that can put things we observe in PROPER perspective.
