Day 8: Wow

5 minutes of star trails

Have you ever wondered how fast the world turns? The camera didn't move while the picture was being taken so the trees still look normal. The stars didn't move either. How then did this picture come to be? I set the camera for a 5 minute exposure and left it alone. The result captures how the stars move over that time. It is hard to tell, but the stars make a big circle if given enough time. 

Job 38:7 - "When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy"

Next time you are outside on a starry night, see if you can see them move.
