Amazing Temporal Distortion Video by Randy Halverson

See the Milky Way, Aurora and other Phenomena in a way you wouldn’t normally see them. What you see is real, but you can’t see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of 20-30 second exposures edited together over many hours to produce the timelapse. This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other phenomena, in ways you wouldn’t normally see them.

In the opening “Dakotalapse” title shot, you see bands of red and green moving across the sky. After asking several astronomers, they are possible noctilucent clouds, airglow or faint Aurora. You can also see the red and green bands in other shots. This video has Milky Way, Aurora, Meteor and Moon lit night timelapse. This was shot entirely at night. If it looks like daytime, it is actually the moon lighting up the landscape.
