Two zen monks were arguing, while looking at a monastery flag flapping in the wind.
The first monk said: “the flag is moving.”
The second monk said: “the wind is moving.”
The zen master, standing behind them and listening, said: “your minds are moving.”

This is a fake. Every single star maintains an exactly even brightness throughout the entire fraud. Sure, there is some faux background lighting change, and fake-o meteorites, but nary a star twinkle anywhere, anytime. Fake.

When one stops to think about it, the Earth is rotating at the effect of ~1,000 MPH.
I have laid in the back yard at night and fixed on an object that was not moving then watched the stars move past the fixed object. It is incredible how fast that they move.

There’s nothing like the universe to bring you down to earth.

Don’t forget our solar system is moving at 514,000 mph around the galactic center. Mankind hasn’t been on board long enough for a complete trip.
It’s going to be an interesting journey.

It’s a series of still images, not a video.

Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Psalm 96:10
Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.

All videos are a series of stills.

Semantics aside, these started as photographs then were pieced together into video. That would explain the lack of “twinkling” stars.

Not really. Stars "twinkle" because of atmospheric conditions regardless of the interval of time between frames.
