Magical Milky Way seen on perfectly clear night at Canada's Banff National Park

On a perfectly clear night in the world-renowned Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada the Milky way is seen shining bright like a million jewels.

Captured on March 21 in the Icefields Parkway, the timelapse footage shows the formation of the stars across the sky as the earth rotates with the stunning scenery in the foreground.

The filmer said: "[This is] the first successful Milky Way chase of the year.

"Friday night and Saturday morning provided an absolutely perfectly clear sky for some Milky Way shooting!

"I wanted to do something a little different this year and after a winter of looking at other videos online and some trial and error, I am pretty happy with how this looks!"
