Very Large Telescope HD Timelapse of Universe

From NikoBustos

This is a VLT (Very Large Telescope) timelapse filmed in HD of our universe. It was taken in Cerro Paranal, II Region, Chile at an altitude of 2635m.

ALL IMAGES: (eso.org) taken on location by Stephane Guisard and Jose Francisco Salgado.

MUSIC SCORE: “We Happy Few” – The Calm Blue Sea (2008) — but I believe it’s much more majestic with the sound muted.

It is a very large file and you may want to wait for it all to load before playing it. The way I do this is I start the video and as it starts, I pause it. You’ll notice that the video still gets loaded in the background. I select 360p as my PC will choke at 720p HD, but if your machine has the CPU power, go for it.
