>2009 is the International Year of Astronomy. To celebrate the IYA, NASA has released a video of the Sky in Motion. The video below is a 4-minute, time-lapse video composed from a series of 7,000 images highlighting much of what you could see in the sky. The video shows the sky in a stately reflection of planet Earth’s own rotation, the moon, the sun and the stars. The video also features satellites and meteors streaking overhead, clouds moving along the horizon changing in a beautiful iridescence, and beaming crepuscular rays.

The Video was produced by Till Credner and it can be seen at The Sky in Motion.com. As you watch the video, experience, learn, and enjoy the changing sky.
