COSMIC MESSAGE

Clouds and sky change dramatically in this time-lapse from southern Australia. Over a rocky coastline, dark clouds flow, sometimes blocking starlight, sometimes making stars appear to flare. In one sequence, a nearly vertical band of zodiacal light is visible at sunset. The Southern Ocean provides a dramatic backdrop for these celestial and atmospheric shifts.
