Time-Lapse Starscape Videos Show Heavens in Motion (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/02/night-sky-time-lapse/)

The night sky seems unchanging to the naked eye, but beauty is hidden beyond the limits of unaided human perception.
As Earth rotates, the sky moves, revealing astronomical events that only time-lapse photography -- a series of exposures lasting for minutes apiece -- can truly capture.
"There are so many things you don't normally see that you can with time-lapse," said photographer Randy Halverson (http://dakotalapse.com/), who created the video above.
Halverson's work even attracted the attention of Bear McCreary (http://www.bearmccreary.com/), a composer who wrote the music for TV shows Battlestar Galactica, Eureka and The Walking Dead. He scored Halverson's for fun.
The surge in amateur popularity of time-lapse videos, caused in part by cheaper access to quality technology and video services, hasn't gone unnoticed by Wired. Dim the lights, crank up the volume and watch some of our favorite clips in this gallery.
very cool
Does anyone think that the aural blast was edited for effects?
I guess vimeo vids don't embed either.
