All of the time-lapse videos of the stars are taken from a fixed perspective on earth, which makes it look like the galaxy is spinning around us. This video has been edited to hold the stars stationary. Quite a powerful way to illustrate that we’re all riding a rock that’s hurtling through space.

[…] BRILLIANT ASTRONOMY VID: We’re not the center of the universe […]
Ian says
Love the video. Anything that makes us more humble is a good thing.
Brian Layman says
That’s pretty neat. But who’d want to be the center of the universe anyway. That puts way too much pressure on a person!
