To the Navajo...
To the Navajo people of the American Southwest, it means two things: Milky Way, and “that which awaits the dawn”.
I’ll add a third meaning: “That which when viewed at full screen and at high volume causes you to experience unspeakable awe and joy.”
Another stunning time-lapse from Gavin Heffernan (check out one of his previous vids here), this time teaming up with Harun Mehmedinović. There’s nothing like a good time-lapse to showcase not only the majesty of the heavens, but the beautiful perspective on them that Earth’s landscapes provide. Enjoy.
Thanks

This new image by the Hubble Space Telescope is the most comprehensive view yet of the universe’s evolution as seen by a space telescope. It is a composite of separate exposures taken from 2003 to 2012. Astronomers previously studied the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) in visible and near-infrared light in a series of images captured from 2003 to 2009. Now using ultraviolet light (seen in blue), astronomers have combined the full range of colors available to Hubble, stretching all the way from ultraviolet to near-infrared light. The image contains approximately 10,000 galaxies, each containing billions of stars, extending back in time to within a few hundred million years of the big bang. http://1.usa.gov/1nbraPy

A Green Flash from the Sun Image Credit & Copyright:...
A Green Flash from the Sun Image Credit & Copyright: Daniel López (El Cielo de Canarias) Explanation: Many think it is just a myth. Others think it is true but its cause isn’t known. Adventurers pride themselves on having seen it. It’s a green flash from the Sun. The truth is the green flash does exist and its cause is well understood. Just as the setting Sun disappears completely from view, a last glimmer appears startlingly green. The effect is typically visible only from locations with a low, distant horizon, and lasts just a few seconds. A green flash is also visible for a rising Sun, but takes better timing to spot. A dramatic green flash, as well as an even more rare red flash, was caught in the above photograph recently observed during a sunset visible from the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos in the Canary Islands, Spain. The Sun itself does not turn partly green or red — the effect is caused by layers of the Earth’s atmosphere acting like a prism.
