Video: Southern Skies in Timelapse

I've often said that the most amazing night skies that I have ever seen in all my travels were found in Chile's Atacama Desert. Due to a a series of unique variables (high altitude, no cloud cover, etc.) it is one of the best places on Earth to watch the heavens, which is why there are numerous observatories there. In this video, we get a not only a brilliant look at the billions of stars overhead, but also the La Silla Observatory itself. This will give you a taste of what it is like there, but honestly it has to be seen first hand to be completely appreciated. Still, this is an amazing video none the less.

Video: Timelapse From the Atacama Desert

This breathtaking video was shot in one of my favorite places on Earth, the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile. It features some of the most stunning landscapes you could ever hope to see, but better yet it also shows off the amazing night skies that can be seen over the Atacama. In all of my travels, I have never seen skies like the ones that are found there, and this short film will give you a taste of what they are like. Enjoy.
