NASA has released an amazing timelapse video covering the entirety of night skies over the course of 12 years.

The clip was produced by utilizing images of the NEOWISE (Near-Earth Wide Field Object Infrared Survey Explorer) space telescope.

The launch was in 2009 and under the title "WISE," the orbiting probe was created to examine objects outside of within the Solar System.

Nasa claimed that the timelapse showed the capability of the infrared camera in the spacecraft which is able to scan the sky once every six months.

"Every 6 months NEOWISE makes one journey half-way around the Sun and captures images across every direction." The space agency stated.

"Stitched together, the images create an "all-sky" map showing the position and the brightness of hundreds million of different objects.

"Using 18 maps of the sky produced by the spacecraft's satellite, scientists have produced what's basically an animation of the sky, showing the changes that have occurred over the course of more than a decade."

In the image, infrared light emanating from massive cosmic events appear as small light.

Black holes and distant galaxies are a good example. They are tracked in the course of they expand and expand, or dim away when they end their lives.

NEOWISE was created to investigate objects that were not part from the Solar System such as stars and planets.

It has since been used to assist scientists in tracking NEOs near-Earth objects like comets and asteroids.

Scientists are tracking thousands of NEOs that may one day threaten our planet.

NEOWISE aids in this by making one trip halfway around the Sun in every 6 months.

When it moves through the air, it captures images across all directions. These can be stitched to create the timelapse that was which was unveiled this week.

"If you go outside and take a look at the night skies it may appear like there is no change, but this isn't the case," said Amy Mainzer Principal Investigator for NEOWISE.

"Stars are exploding and flaring," she added. "Asteroids are flying by. Stars are being torn apart by black holes. apart. The universe is a busy, active space."

Astronomers utilize images taken by telescopes such as NEOWISE to investigate the way that cosmic objects change with time.

NEOWISE and its predecessors have been essential to the latest research into the universe.

For instance, in 2012 it revealed millions of supermassive blackholes within distant galaxies.
