@coreyspowell One thing I love about this video is that you can use it to do some maths to figure out where this was filmed - you can't figure out what longitude, but you should be able to get a rough latitude, and even just a quick think makes it clear that this is in the Southern Hemisphere, looking South. The relatively low height of the apparent centre of rotation above the horizon says we're closer to the equator than the poles.
Show threadAlun JonesJun 12, 2023
@coreyspowell OK, so I guess more information would actually be required to do any more maths than that, you'd need some idea of scale.

@coreyspowell What's even crazier is that every single person, animal, plant and rock on this earth has a story to tell. So insignificant to time and yet it was that it's the culmination of all that built up in the time before it and effort to be where it is today.

@coreyspowell how long would each frame in that time lapse need to be exposed to reveal the night sky to that magnitude?

How frequent, frames per second, minute,hour, were the time lapse intervals?

Show threadEll [They/Them]Jun 12, 2023
@coreyspowell Oh nice, do you need to have a battery connected, or is there a wire, I would imagine that the wire would become tangled after rotating enough, is there a limit to how many days this can go on for?
Show threadJames Bartlett Jun 14, 2023
@Ellaquin @coreyspowell
Most DC power cables are just two wires stuck together, one for positive and one for negative. There are many ways to connect a freely rotating electrical component to a non-rotating stationary power source, but one of the simplest is just a "tip-sleeve" or TS connector, similar to what you'd find on a standard electric guitar cable. And if the power supply has a third wire for ground (more common for AC power), you could use a "tip-ring-sleeve" or TRS connector, similar to what you'd find on a standard stereo headphone cable.

@coreyspowell I cannot wrap my brain around this. Don't stars rise and set like the sun? Is it because the galaxy is so far away? Why do we wobble and not spin? It is perspective?
