Believe it or not, he only used 1 pen for the entire drawing. Watch the time lapse video which shows Miguel working his magic after the jump.

BBC captured this incredible footage of a underwater icicle forming. The salty water, which has a temperature lower than zero degrees, causes the water around it to freeze. The result is an icicle that makes it’s way to the bottom of the sea and leaves a frozen path of destruction. Poor starfish never saw it coming!

All of the video footage was captured from the International Space Station, and all of the video footage is amazing. Check it out!
Google is well known for their doodles, but this year they went all out with a time lapse video of their staff carving giant pumpkins. I think the video could use some funny running around music, but that doesn’t take away from it’s enjoy-ability.
Ryan Emond shot a timelapse video in my hometown of Toronto using a Nikon D700 and a Dynamic Perception dolly.

I particularly like the footage of the Rogers center (formerly known as the SkyDome) closing it’s roof.

Using images captured over a 14 year period, NASA scientists have stitched together a time lapse movie of the final stages of a star being born. This is the first time such an event has been documented, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering this stage of star formation lasts about 100,000 years. Watch a sliver of that formation in progress after the jump.
