Stars orbiting Sagittarius A* (Super Massive Blackhole in center of Milky Way)
This is a timelapse of ~20 Earth years btw!

@stux wow.

What is that sparking thing in top left corner? With so much energy.

This is an incredible Timelapse.

@JoBlakely Looks like it's another star -- it comes into view at one point. The sparkling looks to me like the equivalent of lens-flare.

It'd be nice if the timeline weren't chopped up into multiple pieces; I wonder where the source material is...

@JoBlakely @stux

I spent too much time on this, as I am wont to do: removed the duplicate bits, zoomed in on the timestamped bits (there didn't seem to be a lot of correlation between the lower and upper frames, so this zooms in on the lower frame, with the timestamps) and put the two separated segments together.

@stux I've been wondering when we'd have enough images accumulated over enough time to make a time-lapse of some celestial object, but I was thinking maybe a nebula or something; "black hole" was not on my list of likely candidates!
