The moon and the milky way share the night sky above the Uluru (Ayers Rock). But soon the moon sets and so arouses the fascinating colors of the milky way. The Magellanic Clouds slowly rise later.

Description

The starry sky above the Ayers Rock (Uluru) in Australia is one of the most impressing skies in the world. The reason for this is, that in the australian outback there is no artifical light that could interfere with the dark night sky. In addition the southern hemisphere offers some spectacular sky objects, such as the magellanic clouds and the famous constellation namend Southern Cross. The milky way has so much power that is even is visible when the moon is shining. The moonset looks like a sunset a bit, because there are some small clouds hiding it. When the moon disappeared, the milky way arouses it's whole spectrum of colors and shows all it's beauty. The center of our galaxy slowly lays down above the famous rock, until the milky way finally sets down and lets the Magellanic Clouds rule the field. First, the Small Magellanic Cloud floats into the video, until the Large Magellanic Cloud follows soon. Bevore the sun rises again, there are some clouds passing. This is a nice oppurtunity to notice that there is really no light pollution at all in the australian outback: The clouds are black, because normally when there are even only some artifical light sources, the clouds are enlightend from the bottom so strongly, that they turn red or orange.

The Uluru (or Ayers rock) unfortunately is quite far away from my place of capture (about 22km). The reason for this is, that I did not get a permit for staying a night in the Uluru National Park.

[quote comment="1464"]is it ok to talk about the llttie previews they give us after each show on this site? Since that was the only new thing we got this week I'm wanting to talk about it.[/quote]SmileyMe, It is my personal belief that they shouldn't show any previews because it takes away from the excitement when watching new episodes, and because of this I don't watch the previews.I do understand that a lot of people watch the previews and would like to discuss their content. I am currently looking at different possibilities for allowing these discussions and will hopefully be able to announce a solution soon. Until then, please do not discuss the content of the previews.

1. Eden from Edenland2. No3. Yes4. Yes, I'd love to meet you. Last December I tweeted that my hsunabd text me through a photo of a black man sucking his own penis. Someone in my twitter stream got SO offended, blocked me after tweeting what a crude vile person I was. I felt so bad, all afternoon .. like, what is WRONG with me? Later that night I checked your blog, to find a photo of your turkey ballsack. That turkey ballsack made me feel so much better, like I wasn't the only freak in the world. Thank you.5. No, yes.6. No . are there really exclusive parties?7. You, Heather, Aunt Becky, Tracey, Katie, Lori, Melissa. All of the American chicks I have gotten to know and love over the past three years online. (I'm coming from Australia for BlogHer. So fucking excited.)8. Would you have attended a session if I had gotten one like the community demanded? What if I hosted one in my room? Naked?9. What's the most private thing you're willing to share here? I promise I won't tell anyone.
