This breathtaking view is a reminder of what our ancestors once saw, long before light pollution existed. It's no wonder ancient civilizations were so skilled in astronomy - when the stars were this clear and vast, they naturally became a guide and source of wonder.
I keep coming back to this because the last time I saw the night sky like this was in Colorado when I was a teen. UntiI I saw the sky in such an even more fantastic manner on the north end of Nantucket Island when it was 12°f outside in the late 90s. I thought my eyes were deceiving meas I looked out at the ocean,which was completely still,and it looked like we were floating in space. I ran outside and looked up,and it was there,everything around us,and I almost cried at the sight of the universe,you could see it all. The Milky Way center was slightly below us,and the galactic arm we sat above stretched out at the earth,I couldn't believe I could see it. I could see the colors of gas clouds,the stars,the nebulas,the center of our galaxy in orange and white. I highly recommend that if you can,go to that magical island and see your place in the universe. It was one of the most emotional epiphanies of realization and humility of scale I've ever experienced in my life.
@@j.w.r3730 you should see the night sky from the southern hemisphere (rural New South Wales, Australia) Bugger all light pollution. It is absolutely breathtaking. I consider myself blessed to see this on a clear night. Even better when there’s no moonlight
Northern Wisconsin…July 5th, 2020. Front row seats to the universe and I’ve been a changed human after that. Everyone else got cold or something 5 mins later but I let 3 hours go by on the dock.
@@lynnecartwright3976 Indeed. Our size in comparison to everything else reduces to as close to zero as possible, yet never quite reaching zero. It’s almost as though we don’t even exist, we are that small.
I don’t know about anyone else….but I’d love it did you did an hours long clip of this type of footage (continuous of the same scene) with this music. It would be perfect to bliss out on :) (And thank you)
It is a privilege to be up there for the experience. I was camping at Lake Hemet, CA and got out of my tent at 2:00 am to water a tree and stood in awe of the stars.
It’s so interesting to me that everyone who escapes light pollution and sees the sky like this just stops in utter captivation, staring. It’s like an instant pull. Everything just goes quiet and we all lock eyes with the stars. There’s something to that connection. If you know, you know.
Lock eyes is correct. Possibly many eyes have looked up from their home planet in the direction of our solar system and wondered if kindred minds exist.
And when people say we are the only life in the universe. Please. Our planet has had life on it for millions of years and we've only left the planet in the last 100. There's 2 trillion known galaxies even beyond ours you can't tell me life isn't out there someplace.
@@Rick_B52 i think they mean life like us. There is definitely life out there but not similar to earth creatures. And all forms are likely the only varietal of their type that exist. Likely no one else has our k8nd of lions or flamingos. We tend to think and speak only from an earth pov.
I'm not crying! You're crying! Indescribable beauty! Thank you so much for these shots. Until recently, I thought I was incapable of envy. After watching a few videos on this channel, I already know what real envy is. That's a view I'd trade my life for!
Just looking out into a vague glimpse of everything, everywhere that ever happened. The light takes billions of years to reach us and only tells us a speck of a story that only makes us wonder for a moment what strange worlds and creatures could be within that light’s warmth.
Just.....WOW! It's been decades since I had a night of telescope stargazing absent light pollution. It made me dizzy, nauseous and humbling to view the vastness of the Universe. This is a great reminder of that awe, beauty and sheer immensity. Earth is a speck of dust in a never ending void of energy transfers.
Imagine each of these little dots is a Galaxy, hundreds of thousands of light years across or more... we can't even comprehend the scale of these things and we take for granted what we're actually all looking at watching this video. Thank you for posting
@@ThaWiz11 Hi WhaWiz11. As already discussed in other comments, the seeing at night in low Earth orbit is similar to what you can see in a very very dark and isolated place down on Earth. In this video the camera settings are specifically configured to collect more light than the human eye can perceive.
That is what a clear, night sky looks like on a dark ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 440 miles from the nearest land. Jaw-dropping to a city boy. At that moment I had no trouble understanding why the ancients, all of them, worshiped the sky. We had no words we just sat and stared up at the sky. The colors are amazing and you don't see that here as well. It is almost like there is no point in the sky that does not have a star. Pause at 4:11 and imagine that.
ok so human eyes don't have the ability to gather that much light so the only real way to see this is by camera or picture, as im sure you did see an amazing view with vast amounts of stars. even astronauts don't get to see this sadly.
Incredible! Imagine spending eternity traveling through the cosmos and exploring everything possible. When I look at this as I ponder the great unknown, I get an almost ancient nostalgic feeling that comes over me, as if its been calling me for eternity. 😑
My gosh: this is exactly how I feel. I want to be there, traveling through space forever, with some kind of sensory apparatus that lets me see it all, hear it, feel it.
@@bierrollerful I’m pretty sure there is. Just push it out to a higher orbit until we have Starship sorted. Dismantle & return. The only problem is the current Russo/Yanky relationship
Most likely whatever survives the re-entry will be displayed in a museum, but who knows. For now the plans are to crash it into the ocean by 2031/end of 2030, there's still 6 years until we know what will eventually happen to it.
Blows my mind to be able to see the parallax between the all the stars as the ISS progresses the slightest bit through its orbit. Some are very apparently closer than others in the cosmic stew.
💫✨️🎶🌌🌟🌌🎶✨️💫I Love This!!! Total Fascination, Admiration, Bliss, and Appreciation for This, The Cosmos!!! Thank You!!! Also, the music that accompanies this is important and perfect! I thought to myself, besides an occasional moment of quietness, tranquility, I must have my favorite music alongside with me!!! (I can't have the Beloved Cosmos without music!!!) For some reason, Music and the Universe go together!!! Thanks again, and I really loved watching this!!!❤️💫🌍🌟🌌🙏
Unfortunately it isn’t, astronauts mainly see only pitch blackness. The sun, moon, and earths brightness overpowers the faint stars. Only the camera is able to see this stuff
Of our earth and moon i bet they look breath taking. Now about the stars, sorry but it'll be really hard for humans to actually see a fourth of the stars in this video. Our eyes can't catch all that light and the sun's light pollution would still affect us even while it is "blocked' by Earth.
Some astronauts have reported that it’s actually too much for them. Overwhelming. There’s a name for this phenomenon. I think it’s called the ultraview effect.
As a small child I remember lying in the backyard with my little sister, tucked into our sleeping bags, and watching Sputnik fly overhead in the night sky. Now I can barely see the Northern Star on a clear night from where I live. The lights at night have eliminated the gorgeous sights from space, especially in the last 25 years.
beautiful how the perspective on the universe can change with a simple timelapse. as if you are filming with a camera underwater in my green pond. It almost looks microscopic. The fabric of life.
Think about how much more we could see if we stopped thinking we needed to have lights on in every city every night. If you're driving, use your headlights. If you're a 24 hour store, use only what's needed to operate. People need reminded of their place in this universe and the beauty of it. Might just end some of the chaos.
Wow, I've never seen so many stars.. like magical glitter across a field of infinite depth. Also plenty of satellite whizzing past..lucky someone knows how to figure out what paths they're croswing. Inspirational.
The feeling of being alone... No, there are people, but you are still alone in this world. And there is so much unknown in this world, and space is already so beautiful. You are a unique person. Never believe the words that you are like everyone else, you are a part of this cosmos, you are special. No one has felt what you feel, and no one has experienced like you. We are all here for a reason. We are one soul that experiences different lives. I wish you all the best, don’t forget that you are unique, that you can do anything.
As we gaze into the past ... memories of the stars captured by us at this very unique moment and somewhere in the cosmos, millions of years after we've perished, memories of us and our little planet reached.
The last time I saw the night sky like this was off the coast of California near Big Sur late August 2006.... Couldn't believe what I was seeing being from New York City, I've never seen the Sky like that before... it was Spectacular
Gobsmack breath taking.🎉🎉🎉🎉 Some footages of astronaut out for a moon walk you can not see the stars and galaxies, it is just a black ground. 😮 Sometimes i stumble on these channels by accident will now put it in my liked list, thumbs up and subs.
The most beautiful sky I ever saw was a remote resort in Loreto Mexico. I’ve never seen anything like that even in the most desolate eastern Oregon camping.
Are any of the big patches of light nearby solar systems in our galaxy or are any neighboring Galaxies? I remember, in 2020, when all of our planets were lined up in the night sky, looking up and imagining how much distance that represented, where Earth fit in-between Venus and Mars, where the asteroid belt must be, and how long it takes to travel to Mars, Jupiter, and then Saturn. I was in awe of that. And, that is nothing in compared to the nearest star, which is still insignificant in compared to the nears galaxy. And, if one of those galaxies is the same size as ours, it represents 100, 000 or so light years across?!?! Simply amazing and humbling.
Several times, including right at the beginning, you see the Large and Small Magellenic Clouds. These are dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way galaxy and are visible in the Southern Hemisphere.
Pardon my ignorance. But can anyone please explain what the streaks of light I’m witnessing in these images. I thought “shooting stars” were debris entering our atmosphere. Also why are they at different speeds in the same frame. Please forgive me. This just popped up on my feed and I’m laying in bed watching this. Thank you in advance 🙏
@@sippin7724 It's also because we could never "see" this, even from space - the camera's aperture stays open for an extended time, allowing for light to accumulate on the sensor. Our eyes don't work the same way.

Images of the space, like this one, amazes me as much as depress me, and I would say more on the latter. And I always end with an existencial crisis that doesn't let me sleep.
Could anything give us a better feeling about how big our universe is, than this? It's like being lost in interstellar space, out of nowhere. On a small asteroid kicked out from it's solar system. Or on a rogue planet far away from any star. Looking closer you can find Alpha Centauri, our closest neighbour. Even that system is so far away from us, it looks like any other star in the milky way. And then, a few seconds later, the magellanic clouds are coming into view. Distance: over 150 000 lightyears! For us, it doesn't matter. This ocean our planet is traveling threw, is too big to imagine. We're literally atoms on a dust particle circling around a glowing grain of sand kilometers away from other isolated grains... Let us use our time here on earth to explore this giant ocean and protect our small world. Mankind shouldn't act like teens in puberty, we have to grow up 😊❤
@@astronauticast Oh. Thanks for letting me know. Seriously thanks. Lot of satellites up there I guess. I did think they were moving extremely fast, but now I know they're very close objects, the speed of movement makes sense
@@astronauticast so 0:35 is a satellite too? And I notice as space station moves into the path of the sun's rays, we see blue scattering and white haze. Does that mean the space station orbits within Earth's gaseous atmosphere?
About the "path of the sun's rays". The ISS orbits at an altitude of 420 km, out of the Earth's thin atmosphere. But during sunrise or sunset, the Sun's rays pass through the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the Station. This interaction with the atmosphere causes the color of the sky to change (from orange to blue). For instance, check this video: th-cam.com/video/WlXAfFwt3Wc/w-d-xo.html
This breathtaking view is a reminder of what our ancestors once saw, long before light pollution existed. It's no wonder ancient civilizations were so skilled in astronomy - when the stars were this clear and vast, they naturally became a guide and source of wonder.

Images of the space, like this one, amazes me as much as depress me, and I would say more on the latter. And I always end with an existencial crisis that doesn't let me sleep.
Could anything give us a better feeling about how big our universe is, than this? It's like being lost in interstellar space, out of nowhere. On a small asteroid kicked out from it's solar system. Or on a rogue planet far away from any star. Looking closer you can find Alpha Centauri, our closest neighbour. Even that system is so far away from us, it looks like any other star in the milky way. And then, a few seconds later, the magellanic clouds are coming into view. Distance: over 150 000 lightyears! For us, it doesn't matter. This ocean our planet is traveling threw, is too big to imagine. We're literally atoms on a dust particle circling around a glowing grain of sand kilometers away from other isolated grains... Let us use our time here on earth to explore this giant ocean and protect our small world. Mankind shouldn't act like teens in puberty, we have to grow up 😊❤
Fantastic! I wish i had that view!
We are so small.
There is so much out there that we don't know nothing about will we ever
😊
All the stars are grains of sand on the beach of the universe
5:15 couple shooting stars, heading in different directions - bottom central
All the moving objects you see crossing the frame are satellites orbiting the Earth, and not shooting stars.
@@astronauticast Oh. Thanks for letting me know. Seriously thanks. Lot of satellites up there I guess. I did think they were moving extremely fast, but now I know they're very close objects, the speed of movement makes sense
@@astronauticast so 0:35 is a satellite too? And I notice as space station moves into the path of the sun's rays, we see blue scattering and white haze. Does that mean the space station orbits within Earth's gaseous atmosphere?
Hi Julie. About the speed: remember, this is a timelaspe and it is accelerated by about 20 times compared to the real speed.
About the "path of the sun's rays". The ISS orbits at an altitude of 420 km, out of the Earth's thin atmosphere. But during sunrise or sunset, the Sun's rays pass through the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the Station. This interaction with the atmosphere causes the color of the sky to change (from orange to blue).
For instance, check this video: th-cam.com/video/WlXAfFwt3Wc/w-d-xo.html
Because that’s what we always see on the ISS live feed
