   Explanation: This serene view from the coast of Sweden looks across the
   Baltic sea and compresses time, presenting the passage of one night in
   a single photograph. From sunset to sunrise, moonlight illuminates the
   creative sea and skyscape. Fleeting clouds, fixed stars, and flowing
   northern lights leave their traces in planet Earth's sky. To construct
   the timelapse image, 3296 video frames were recorded on the night of
   June's Full Moon between 7:04pm and 6:35am local time. As time
   progresses from left to right, a single column of pixels was taken from
   the corresponding individual frame and combined in sequence into a
   single digital image 3296 pixels wide.
