New skyglow video: Dishdance honors SETI


SKYGLOW: DISHDANCE from Sunchaser Pictures on Vimeo.

This morning, video producer Gavin Heffernan dropped EarthSky a note, saying:

… enclosed is a link to DISHDANCE, a SETI [Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence] tribute and timelapse medley of Radio Astronomy facilities …

This timelapse was filmed as part of SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM, our ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution in contrast with some of the most incredible Dark Sky Preserves in North America.

This video was shot by my Skyglow partner Harun Mehmedinovic (www.Bloodhoney.com) and myself (SunchaserPictures.com).

More credits:

Voiceover: Carl Sagan, from the section “Darkness” in his book “Pale Blue Dot.”
Music by Tom Boddy, music track “Thoughtful Reflections.”
Edited by: Harun Mehmedinovic

Dishdance was filmed at Very Large Array Observatory in New Mexico, Owens Valley Observatory in California, and Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia.

By the way, EarthSky also ran project Skyglow’s earlier video – showing what Los Angeles would look like if you could see the night sky wheeling overhead – in April, 2015. It’s a very cool video, too – a Vimeo staff pick. Watch it here, and help Skyglow keep going.

Bottom line: A new video from project Skyglow – an ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution – called Dishdance. This video focuses on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) and features a voiceover by the late, great Carl Sagan.
