i gotta see this someday

when i went to australia last year, i spent some time out at sea: diving, snorkeling, swimming, and just generally having a relaxing and enjoyable time. one night after dinner, the crew and guests were on the deck, getting to know each other, and having a few drinks when i looked up and saw more stars at one time than i'd ever seen in my life. it was truly breath-taking.

this is a long-exposure video watching the actual heart of the milky way rise above the horizon. that would be amazing to see.
