Yosemite Nature Notes - 19 - Night Skies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Yosemite's vast acreage and remote location protect some of the darkest night skies in the country. Astronomers, photographers and city dwellers flock to the park to take advantage of this unique opportunity to view planets, stars, and galaxies. For an audio described version of this video, go to • Yosemite Nature Notes ... .
Our world would be a very different place if every child was exposed to this kind of experience before they were conditioned to believe they are merely competitors in a consumer culture. We who know Yosemite and its "timeless" beauty have been given a very special gift: a sense of wonder and of belonging to something far greater than our individual limitations.
Well said, Noe.

ikr.
now we got flat-earthers with no camera skills.
You would not believe how badly I would like to go to a desert, or a national park like this just to see the stars.
Now is the time to drive on out.
This remains one of my all time favourite UA-cam clips. Even after all this time. Stunning.
Alright ,
I think I've got the best Night Sky story ever
Was camping Yosemite back when my first Son was 4 or 5
And as the night got darker . He started to become frightened .
So I pointed out the light from the stars and sead .
" See how close they are . Because we're so far up in the mountains ."
And my Son SO , Starstruck sead to me ...
" WOW ! Dad can we get one ? "
As with every conviction of a five year old boy .
Who hasn't seen the stars that close before .
WELL ! His opptamisum could not be denied .
So I flipped him up on my shoulders .
And RAN up the near by hill to get one of those stars .
Thank you Lance , for showing me the stars so close .
I'm sorry we did not reach one that night .
And now you're so far away .
Maybe you two did each get a star--they reside in your heart where you can't see them, but you sure can feel them--you and Lance.
People should really understand that in every kind of darkness there is a light - always!

yosemitenationalpark I can’t find it
What a grand way to begin my day, thank you to the visual artists who captured the night to share with us!
Never gets old! I miss Yosemite.
Once again the Yosemite team has produced, with the advantage of filming in the most stunningly beautiful place in the world, another fabulous video. What a great job.
I starting crying at the end because I was so happy and just so amazed!
I'm speechless at how beautiful this is.
Oh my God! How beatiful.
I love this video! Yosemite is the inspiration for so many people's love and joy. A walk through Curry Village and a stroll through the meadows will give you the biggest smile you've ever had.
Living 2 hours away from Yosemite (the best place in the world) makes me feel very special. :)
When I see videos like this, I think..."We're nothing". But not in a bad way at all. We are important, yes. But so is everything...here and out there. I can't explain it. Just beautiful. Absolutely jaw dropingly amazing.
Yosemite by night, just as beautiful as during the day. Who would have ever known! Have been to Yosemite several times now, but have never spent much time there well after dark to enjoy these stunning views of the night skies and the Milky Way.
A true window into space. Mind-blowingly beautiful when you stop to think about it.
I feel very happy to listen to the tunes of carlos santana , I was listening to him since I was in Haiti and I love his melodies a lot. kalolo
Not even 1080p can actually show just how beautiful this place really is.
One of the very best videos I've seen! Thank you so much!!!
What a breathtaking experience to actually be able to see the infinite number of stars. Leaves you in awe and only makes you wonder more of what’s really out there.
I actually lived in Yosemite for 4 years and just love to watch the stars. It was amazing. I miss it now that I live in las Vegas.
Your summer program was awesome! I just re-watched some Nature Notes and am totally inspired all over again. Thanks Steve!
Just beautiful in all its color
This is why I love living away from the city. You can actually see the stars.
Unbelievable wonder and beauty. Thanks.
This video made me almost weep with its beauty. Thank you.
Truly amazing. I keep pressing "like" again and again
Gorgeous! I love Yosemite and especially the High Country. I always feel so connected with the cosmos here and wish everyone could experience this blessing. This video is a step towards sharing this beauty and majesty of Gaia - our Mother Earth. Thank you - may it inspire!
Most beautiful video I’ve ever seen!!!
Great job. The night skies are beautiful.
so mesmerizingly beautiful.
Beautiful work Steven. It brings out a lot of memories shooting the night sky there!
Stunning. Well done Shawn.
thanks for sharing,the twinklings are so beautiful.
Simply amazing. What a stunning sight. It really is a pity that I would probably never get to see such magnificent sight in my whole life.
Beautiful, electrifying, feels as if I was there. Congratulations!
Another excellent video. Thank you for producing and sharing this video. My favorite line was "you can actually see your shadow because of the light from the Milky Way." I have never visited Yosemite National Park but I want to visit now more than ever.
This is so beautiful!!
Awesome. Breathtaking..
Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so much for this video - wow!!

5:00 Could quite be the most epic video of nature and space i have ever seen, BEAUTIFUL
This is awesome.. I went to Yosemite once, but only during the daytime... I'll have to go again someday soon.
This is a great video. I would love to see this place one day.
Breathtaking

I love it! I hope I get to see our galaxy when I visit
This is a great video!
beautiful. this makes me realize what im missing out on. I hate living in a big city but moving looses soo many disadvantages.
Totally missed this when I went here. I need to go back.
Beauty, this is it.
5:10 Amazing shot. Thx for taking video and uploading.
And every one of those stars are a sun, a sun that could have planets like us, and life like ours. Gorgeous.
Adding this to my bucket list...
I was there for few days back in 2006. Its a nice place to visit!
Amazing.........
AMAZING !!!
This video is so fascinating! :-)
Thank you

I have always wanted to visit... And will one day...
EXCELLENT
este video e otimo gosto muito de natureza
Can't wait to do some Astro Photography nest summer!
very nice job
AWESOME!!! Love it:0)
I feel like I'm back home when I watch this "heaven"
Getting to Glacier Point in total darkness is 1 exciting drive
Awesome
beautifully simple
Nice vid, Shawn.
Thats awesome, I wish I could have went to it.
Been to the top of Mount Whitney 5 time (14502ft), every time i went was to view the stars...It's a very humbling experience, hence the reason i keep going back... Shooting stars everywhere and they leave a rainbow trail...heading back Early Summer 2013
Amazing... I wonder how does it looks from other plants or milky way.... Only time will tell....
This is a very cool video. I have also seen something like this in a small town called Saguache, CO. I drive a semi and I picked up a load on a farm there, and when I woke up at 3:30 am to head off to California, I was amazed because I am a city dweller. I wanted to stay there another night to watch it, but I had to leave. I want to go back so bad that it's not even close to funny.
Itsh sho good to shee sho many shtars!!!
Your work is outstanding Shawn, hopefully we can get laws passed that help limit the effects of light pollution with less broad range outside bulbs and limit illumination downward.
OMG! I didn't know there were so many VISIBLE stars! Awesome! It looks like about 600 zillion, billion, qaudrillion, to the factor of X029! Glorious!
For about half of the video I watched and thought how cool is it that i can see the galaxy totating then i thought wait thats the earth rotating MINDBLOW!!!
Thank you so much. That was so beautiful. I have seen the night sky in Yosemite long ago. We should have lights turned off by 12am every night on the streets, but not the highways. We would conserve energy also.
Wow that is just exquisite. I think I can tell the difference between the airplanes and the shooting stars.
ending song: Kim Caldwell - Days 5-8: Embrace. Its some kind of meditation music. Try google it, i didnt find it on YT
5:07 That was beautiful.....
does anyone know the last song ? great video by the way.. sometimes i can forget about how marvelous the universe is.. thank you
Thank you! That's what human beings are. Love the video, the thoughts and emotions, and the Yosemite! although I've never been there. Music is unique. Anybody knows who's the author?
