The footage comes from May 21 and 22 and shows stars fleeing across the night sky while the clouds glow as if lit by a giant flashlight from below. The radiating light comes from lava-spewing fissures generated by Kilauea's continued eruption. The time-lapse effect makes the clouds look like a roiling sea.

The camera has its infrared filter removed, which is why the footage shows a white and blue glow rather than the customary red glare of lava.
