Awesome

Nifty video.

Lots of those images aren't from North Dakota, however. Devil's Tower is in Wyoming, for example. And basically any image in there with a hill is probably not North Dakota. The places that were flat as a pancake, those were North Dakota. =)

Take it up with the guy that made the video. Not much I can do about it...

I wasn't complaining, just informing.

I grew up there, so am pretty well acquainted with the landscape.

Holy ****. I didn't know you could see stars like that from the Earth's surface. I've never seen the sky look like that, even from the most remote places...

Surely you jest. Never been camping? The sky looks like that any time you get sufficiently far enough from a city. I love being out in the desert camping here and being able to see the milky way.

I have a few times. At the campground of my youth's summers, in the Boundary Waters, and in my college's observatory.

I have yet to see the Northern Lights that brilliantly, though.

I have. The sky still doesn't look like that any time I've looked into it. My in-laws live way out in the wilderness. You can see more stars there, but I've never seen the Milky Way spiral or the nebulae the way they show up in that video. The same is true from the middle of the Caribbean Sea, which I've been on several times...you'd think you'd see it there, but nope.

As far as I can tell, the sky is always blue or black, with a bunch of white pin-pricks...I've never seen the sky look like that, ever.

The short version is that you can't see stars like that with the naked eye Taly.

Those images are from high end cameras on long exposures with sensitivity far beyond what our eyes have.

He has a bunch of really nice videos on his website
