This photoblog started out as a daily picture thing. I got lazy, so now it is photos of when I get the chance.

The Earth Spins

This picture actually shows the Earth spinning. We look out at the stars, and during a long exposure shot, we see the stars appear to rotate around a point. In actuality, we are the ones that are rotating. That bright one on the right side you can see is not a point, but a curve. (Click on the picture to zoom in, it is easier to see that way.)
