I wish every once in a year there are an occasion called "the milky way day" were all nation turn off their lights so we can see a beautiful night sky like this
That is an awesome idea!!
Me too then people in New York or big cities could see the sky for once
Agreed
I truly agree to this. I am in Delhi and I can't see any stars here, but if there will be milky way day, I can see that. I am an amateur astronomer and I really want to see so much stars. I have never seen them live before. Barely, I can see Vega, Rigel, Sirius, Bellatrix and Betelgeuse but due to the season change, I can't even see them now...
What a great thought!
All the observatory machinery spinning around rapidly in timelapse-fashion is so adorable 😢 like lil R2D2s
Can you really see the starry sky like that up there?
I wish i had studied more when i was young to study physics and astronomy becouse i have realise that it fascinate me the discover of this vast unknown world. However, your time lapse Is amazing!!!! Cheers from Greece
Whats stopping you learning now?
It’s not too late, I just did during the pandemic. It’s amazing to see with your own eyes the planets and the stars
I hope i will be there some day
yeah same
In that hawai or in space (heaven)?
Why?
@@ademarslanovski8958 dream job 😊
@@arisee564 mine too!
Dunno why but watching this makes me wanna cry. Beautifully made!
Absolutely incredible, thank you for the video
I hope to experience such experiences.
2:17 defending the Earth from hostile invaders!!
@Tyler Halnon Yep. We use them to move certain things out of the way of other things and such. They're useful tools.
Blake Bauman what do you mean?
@@MnemonicHeadTrip To clear out space debris and such stuff so space vehicles can go on their path unharmed. Search youtube for space junk, there are a lot of cool videos.
The music in Space Rip, when Dick Rodstein was narrating, was fantastic.
It's live!
So whats everyones first thought & feeling of emotion when they see this? Doesn t this make anyone question the existence of all that there is to life. We as a species are by the billion and are all seperate individual minds so therefore there are over and infinite amount of ways to be human and thats without the existence past our own such as the animal kingdome and the under water world where the family tree hit the root where all sorts are occuring. There are more than an infinite amount of ways to experience life. Imagin having the super power vision like a bird of prey or the ability to cloke like a cuttlefish. The possibilites... they're infinite.
no
Beautiful
Thank you!
Beautiful time lapse
Wow!! This just become my top place to visit!
Beautifully done 🌟⭐💫
Beautiful place to go
Instant like for the song choice!
extra ordinaire - WONDERFUL
I’m here after watching a jre clip about this place I need to go here
all I can say is..
wow!
so beautiful 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Some amazing shots! Would love to know if I'm able to capture those night skies with a regular camera or it requires specific gear? Using a Canon 6D Mark II with various lens...those shots look amazing. I'll be there next week... :)
RGMG awesome!!! Please take pictures let’s us know how it turns out! Have fun on your trip 😊
So what happened? Can you walk around ground level and see all this by simply looking up?
Awesome Sharing ! ! !
what a spiritual tune,, and exact choice for this video,, amazing,, man ,, thanks
Holy moly!
Very nice
Hey,
Those are some absolutely stunning timelapses!
Also, I am heading to Mauna Kea next month and hope to photograph the night sky there so I was wondering how you gained access to the summit at night? Everywhere I look it says the public is only open to the summit until 30 minutes after sunset and I am hoping to timelapse so I was wondering if there was some sort of way to be able to shoot there at night?
Best way is to just avoid the rangers, or if they come around just tell them you're "finishing up" haha. Good luck!
Can you drive up there in person? Is it not dangerous? I'm going for a trip later this month and would love to take galaxy photos :)
Elk, this is so dizzying to see, we are in a spinning infinitely big Galaxy that's constantly expanding!!
haha went their a month ago and going up that volcano got me a headache so thats the reason why they told me to stay in the parking lot for 30 mins but very nice experience would recommend
Hey , if i can know how much u paied fot the trip?
Whats called on to that orange thing is't laser or what
Absolutely stunning! Nice work! This lasers were interesting, I've never seen those, I guess it helps them track the constellations?
+Mark G Media The lasers are used to help reduce the twinkling one sees in stars (due to the movement of air in Earth's atmosphere).
Ohhhh interesting. Thanks
+The Infinity Point Can you see those lasers with your eyes or is it just the camera?
+MiLC0REHD Yup you can see with your eyes if you're close enough (~200 meters usually).
The Infinity Point Wow, thats impressive! I guess I have to go to one of those observatories sometime!
For the two dislikes. You must work at 711 and suck at life. The End.
Why so many? And whats with the lazers?
Laser to focus in the sky maybe
Epic♥️🌠🌟Bucketlist#willbetheresomeday!
being there was magic, a surreal experience
How does this not have more views?
sus
It's nicked eye view?
How did you achieve your position as an astronomer at Mauna Kea? What college did you go to? I'm really interested in astronomy related careers.
Glad you're interested in astronomy! A good background would be a heavy emphasis on math and physics courses at the high school level. Once you reach college a bachelors in physics is the way to go. Some universities have some astronomy classes as well, and even fewer offer an actual, separate astronomy or astrophysics degree.
Thank you!
Is the study hard? can one consider a career in astronomy later in life, If they didn't choose it after leaving school?
Can i share your video on my Facebook page? it is non profitable... allegory.cosmos
***** Sure no problem. You can also check out another more recent video here: ruclips.net/video/kNW2JgVy_q4/видео.html
This was very beautiful. How much of the Milky Way and the stars can you see with the naked eye there? I know the camera captured more than what you can usually see, but people talk about how amazingly clear the Milky Way is with the naked eye depending on where you view it from. I hope I can see it with my own eyes one day
You can definitely see it as a hazy band across the sky, but pretty much only on moonless nights or thin crescent. Otherwise the Moon will wash it out. Typically you can see around 5000 stars with your naked eye from a very dark location, away from city lights.
@@TheInfinityPoint please tell me you tried to personally count how many visible stars 😂
Hey, is there any way to hitchhike there? are the some people in the evening to hitchhike back? I will be there between the next days to get some shots of the milkyway:)
and tours are to expensive for me, because I am allready backpacking since August;)
towards the end...why did it look like the observatories were shooting lasers into the sky??
+Volkz ohh cool!! thanks😃
Because they were shooting the Space Invaders.
Its a technique by which the distortions of star lights in the atmosphere are corrected,the lasers basically create a artificial star in the sky (not by ionizating the atm).This technique is called adaptive optics,you can learn about it if interested.
Why do observatories shoot lasers into the sky?
Thanks Love no limit🥰🌳🌼🍀🌹♥️
Nice cinematography! Just wondering....were the daytime foreground and the rotating night sky shot separately and composited? Or is it possible in that location to see the stars in the sky like that even when there's still enough daylight to illuminate the ground?
I think the light pollution is so low some stars were visible even at day time! Especially at high grounds yes it’s possible
That was the Moon. It's just so overexposed it looks like the Sun and daytime.
Who is on Duty here and now?
I wish this were my life
giaa
Greetings, I plan to major in astronomy do you have any advice? Something that would keep me motivated ?
Lol shoot for the stars
+Cecilia Albortante haha
yes, shoot the stars. Only you can end their destructive nature.
JRE anyone?
can you see milky way in naked eye?
Ivan Delacruz Yes you definitely can! It will appear to be a diffuse band that looks like clouds, but it doesn't move like clouds.
The Infinity Point thank you. just one last question, what other sightings that we can look out there in universe?
Ivan Delacruz You're welcome! Off the top of my head, you can see the Andromeda Galaxy, Orion Nebula, Carina Nebula, open cluster M7, globular cluster, and if you're south of the equator 47 Tuc and the Small/Large Magellanic Clouds, all with the naked eye. All of these will appear as small diffuse patches or smudges of light usually blue-green in color (because of your eye and not the object).
@@TheInfinityPoint wow thats soo cool!
Here cause of Joe Rogan
I have to experince this
Are you an astronomer on Mauna Kea? Do you have any tips on where to set up and what moon phases you should go up on? Any lenes you would recommend for a canon aps-c camera?
Yes I'm an astronomer who frequently uses the telescopes on Mauna Kea. I usually like to suggest sometime around new moon to go up and shoot, way more stars that way. But if you're just getting started I suggest going up around gibbous or full moon, when it's brighter and it can be helpful to see what you are doing. Honestly any lens would work fine, especially when the Moon is brighter. Just shoot at max aperture (low f-number), use an ISO around 3200, and shutter speeds of about 15-30 sec. Then adjust as needed. Good luck!
The Infinity Point Mahalo!
The Infinity Point did you get a P.H.D on astronomy at Hawaii
I want to 2013 :(
Highest mt on earth
are those teloscopes oucular or raidio?
Both, although there are more optical telescopes than radio telescopes on the mountain.

what is the laser's for?
This is a good explanation: ruclips.net/video/dCVzzf2e0cU/видео.html
nobody catch that massive fireball meteor at 1:19?
As each video frame is at full DSLR resolution, I saved that frame as a photo :)
Universe nightclub
1:16 wait,that's illegal
(That you can see so many stars with the sun in the sky.....)
is it possible to look at satellites in space ? and if so can you post it. that would be great. for many reasons. they can count shoe laces on someone imagrd from space .So do the reverse and shut up some of those idiots posting flat earth crap.
It is possible to see some iridium and maybe the iss satellites but not through a telescope as they move at roughly 18,000 mph
Yes it is. You'll find many satellites criss-crossing the sky either a little after sunset or a little before dawn. It's actually quite difficult to track a satellite using a large (greater than ~1 meter) telescope, as StoneColdGaming says they move quite fast (a few minutes from horizon to horizon). The USAF has a telescope on Haleakala (on Maui) that has some satellite tracking/imaging ability I believe. Needless to say much of it is classified :).
Duit?
Bad piggies is fun
Thanks Joe Rogan
What's the temperature like at night and do you have to camp in order to stay the night?
+Str Fkr Temperature is usually about 0 C, and a few degrees lower during winter. Since I usually go up there to observe on one of the telescopes I stay inside the whole time, no need to camp ;).
What are the laser beams doing?
I’ve only seen the sky like this once and it was on a mountain area
This should have more views!!!
I would LOVE to visit there at night but as I understand it, it's not open to the public in the evening. Can anybody who has been please tell me what time of the day is the best in order to see that incredible carpet of stars overhead? I'm on a quest, determined to see the planet's best view of the stars and I've heard that the Kek Observatory is the best place on a clear night. :)
Yes it's difficult being on the summit especially at night: cold (typically ~0 C), lack of oxygen (60% of sea level), and very dark (remember, these are research telescopes collecting actual data, so even if you do go up at night, be careful where you shine your headlights!), but you can go to the Visitor Information Station at 9200 feet and see the same exact thing. On certain days (I don't remember which, check their website) some amateur-sized telescopes will be set up for you to look through as well.
@@TheInfinityPoint Thank you for your reply. I'm after something that will leave me awestruck, so is it open when it's dark? The website for the Visitor's Center confuses me because I don't want to go during the daylight hours. Thanks again.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Well, I don't know about right now as the current state of affairs is far from normal. But eventually when things are back to normal they should be open on at least a few nights of the week.
@@TheInfinityPoint Oh this is exactly the information I was looking for-- their website has no 'dark sky' opening times, it seems to close at around 'dinner time' LOL, when the sky would still be a little blue and with the sun barely set, which strikes me as super strange for an observatory/star viewing hotspot.. This is very helpful information, thanks again. I will check with them directly before booking any long haul trips made especially to visit this place. Hopefully international travel will be more or less back to 'normal' by next year :)
the only person I knew from mars was gardener he was a cool guy.
I think you're confusing fiction from reality? "The Martian" is a fictional (ie, make believe) movie about a human accidentally left behind on Mars. We haven't even been able to send a human back to the Moon since the 60s/70s, let alone Mars, for various financial, political, and technological reasons.
The infinity point I think he was joking he probably knows people haven’t gone to Mars yet
@@MsAda79 instead of making a supposition why don't you ask him?
unless they made into a conspericay like the moon trip@@MsAda79
