Starry sky with North Star circled.webm

Time-lapse of the night sky and stars revolving around the celestial North Pole. Filmed in Petit-Croix, northeastern France. The original video lasts about 1.4 seconds, so here it has been repeated eight times to give a total length of about 11 seconds and make it easier to see the effect. In addition, the North Star has been circled in red to highlight how the other stars seem to revolve around it.
