Thats freakin Awesome!
Isn't that a long-term exposure in death valley? I seem to remember when it originally appeared, but cannot recall more.
Damn moving stones.
>>185503Yes, it is. NASA APOD.
Lived out there for 5 years from 1997 to 2002 and most every night was full of stars just like that. One of the few places on the planet where you can get a glimpse so many stars without needing to be on top of a mountain.Funny thing too: that photo was taken at an elevation of about 140 feet below sea level. :)
>>185624Even better is at sea in the middle of the Pacific, no moon, no clouds, darkened ship. Awesome doesn't begin to describe it. Stars almost to the horizon for 360 degrees.
Put on a pair of night vision goggles on a dark and clear night and you see literally 10+ times more stars than normal
