During a late-night flight from Europe to South America, this pilot shot a mind-blowing time-lapse of the night sky showing the Milky Way in all its shining glory. 

The short film was shot by Sales Wick, a 30-year old airline pilot and photographer based in Switzerland, straight from his cockpit. As he embarks on his long-haul journey, you also catch a glimpse of city lights, other planes, and the Atlantic Ocean skip by below him. Although, the main star of the show is our glorious galaxy, and damn, it looks good.
