Celestial Trails over Greece
			
		
		
		
			If you watch the horizon at just the right place and at just the right time, you can witness some spectacular juxtapositions between Earth and sky.
In the 
above video, stars, the Moon, and even a partially eclipsed Sun were recorded rising and setting over photogenic landmarks in 
Greece.
The inspiring video features effects on star trails that are pretty but somewhat deceiving, as stars will typically remain at nearly the same brightness as the Earth turns beneath them.
Also, the time lapse nature of part of the video causes clouds to appear to jump about and fade in an 
unfamiliar fashion.
Several stills of these scenes have appeared on 
APOD previously, including the 
partial solar eclipse over the Temple of Poseidon, 
cloud and star trails over a deserted church, and 
star trails over an old ship.
Other foreground venues include an old church in 
Peloponnese, 
a stone bridge in 
Ioannina, a 
Frankish Castle in 
Euboea, and a 
picturesque sunset above 
Lycabettus Hill, 
Athens.
