      You’d have to film near one of the poles to do a full rotation.

      Folks, you can’t film a full rotation of the nighttime sky for a very good, simple reason. Rather than tell you the reason, I’m gonna let you think about it.  (Hint: it might be possible to film a full rotation of the nighttime sky at the North or South poles. Hint Hint: It stays dark at the poles for more than 24 hours.)

      This video is amazing but I do like to see a full rotation and not clips of half/quarter rotations. Still awesome though
