Stunning Time-lapse Video Of Earth’s Rotation Is Worth The Hype. Watch It Here

In the era of social media, all sorts of videos go viral. Some of them seem surreal. Recently, one such clip has garnered attention, in which the earth is seen rotating. This is a time-lapse video, which looks amazing. It is currently garnering everyone’s attention. According to the report, the video of Earth’s rotation was captured in August 2022 at the Cosmodrome Observatory in South France. In this case, the entire rotation was captured by stabilising a camera. The video is interesting for those interested in science, especially space. One can see the Milky Way being hidden due to the light of the Earth. Although the stars are fixed, the Earth appears to be rotating along with the trees, plants, and fields. The video has been shared on the social media platform Twitter. The caption reads, “Earth’s rotation is visualised in a stunning time lapse that follows a fixed point in the sky.”

The clip was shared on July 8, 2024, and has until now garnered 130.3K views on Twitter. Commenting on the video, users said how beautiful it is, while one user wrote, “Where have those people gone who used to say that the earth is flat?”

Earlier, a similar clip went viral on social media, and a breathtaking time-lapse video of the night sky garnered attention. Photographer Eric Brummel did something special that has internet users captivated. In the video, the Earth is seen travelling across the night sky rather than the Milky Way galaxy. In other words, the earth’s rotation around its axis has been beautifully captured in the video. Flat-earth theorists can now lay their theories to rest, as this video is sure proof of the earth being circular.

The video was made by the photographer using his camera and a star tracker. The camera is rotated in the opposite direction from the direction of rotation of the earth by the optical apparatus. The sky appears to have stabilised as a result. The camera is fixed to a motorised moving gear. It is configured to move just enough so that the Milky Way and stars are in the same position in each image it captures while being fixated on a specific area of the sky.
