Weekend Features: “Temporal Distortion” by DakotaLapse

It’s An Art World

Stunning time-lapse footage of the Milky Way, the night sky, and Aurora Borealis shot by photographer DakotaLapse (Randy Halverson). Having personally have seen the Milky Way with great detail while on the dark roads of Saddle Road in The Big Island of Hawaii, this video brings back those breathtaking moments of the wonders of the universe.

“What you see is real, but you can’t see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of 20-30 second exposures edited together over many hours to produce the timelapse. This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other Phenonmena in a way you wouldn’t normally see them.
In the opening “Dakotalapse” title shot, you see bands of red and green moving across the sky. After asking several Astronomers, they are possible noctilucent clouds, airglow or faint Aurora. I never got a definite answer to what it is. You can also see the red and green bands in other shots.” -DakotaLapse
