There is almost nothing like being outside on a cold night watching the stars to feel the paradoxical combination of our amazing connection to the cosmos and our unimaginable insignificance in comparison to it. We all know intellectually that the sun and the stars don't revolve around our planet. We all know that the Earth rotates on its own axis and travels across the sky, but have you ever felt that motion?The ancients would envy the transformative power of our technology. Thanks to it, the world of the invisible can now reveal its detail and beauty in all its splendor. As the following video shows, the apparent motion of the stars can be experienced on the most visceral of levels. Oh yeah, and listening to Pink Floyd won't hurt :)
