Awesome Night Sky Video and Pictures

     This video won the Starmus astrophotography competition. Check the other links for an article with some really neat pictures and the guy's website for some really great pictures. These photos I think show more stuff than can be seen by the naked eye on a night without light pollution because the camera can absorb more light. For anyone unaware, that big band of light in the night sky, from which the name "Milky Way" is derived, is our galaxy's center, as we are in one of the arms of a spiral galaxy. Somewhere within that center lurks a big black hole.
