The Sky in Motion: Time Lapse Video

I thought this was absolutely amazing and beautiful and wanted to share. It is a time laps video of the sky:

Sky in Motion
2008 December 31

Explanation: Still need to come up with a good new year's resolution? Consider one appropriate for 2009, the International Year of Astronomy; just look up -- experience, learn, and enjoy the changing sky. This 4-minute, time-lapse video is composed from a series of 7,000 images highlighting much of what you could see. Arcing through the sky in a stately reflection of planet Earth's own rotation are Moon, Sun and stars. But the sequence also features satellites and meteors streaking overhead, clouds moving along the horizon changing in a beautiful iridescence, and beaming crepuscular rays.

That was absolutely beautiful. Just like my life as far as the speed of it. Now if you can put that sunrise in the video in my avatar I'd be very happy. The one in the beginning from 10 seconds to around 22 seconds. The whole time lapse was awesome and thank you GEL for the experience.
