If you missed last week’s Perseids meteor shower – and I truly hope you didn’t – this beautiful time-lapse video of the view from Joshua Tree National Park should get you caught up. And fill you with more than a little wonder.
This was shot over three days with a Canon 5D MK II at 6400 ISO, with 20-second exposures by Henry Jun Wah Lee. Consider me star struck. [TNW]

Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 10:44 PMWhat’s even scarier – is the fact that it’s not the actual sky moving. It’s you moving through space and the sun and realising how small you really are compared to the endless darkness out there.
I know it’s a pretty obvious statement, but people are just to used to the sky being “a moving image” so to speak, that they don’t realise it’s so much more.
