Swirling Galaxy Over Lighthouse Captured in Gorgeous Timelapse

A photographer captured a stunning timelapse of a clear evening over Cape Palliser, New Zealand, on February 4.Mark Gee said he took the footage over 13 hours and pieced it together using over 780 individual images.
The video begins with the sun setting over the ocean at Cape Palliser lighthouse, on the southeast side of the North Island, and as day turns to night the swirling galaxy of the Milky Way comes into full view before the sun rises again. Credit: Mark Gee via Storyful
