@ I mention the northern hemisphere b/c I watch the sky here. We have Polaris, the North Star, in the Big Dipper, and it's a life saver (literally), so you can look at it an immediately know:
1) which was it North
2) you latitude
The video was in the southern hemisphere, which can be deduced from 2 things:
1) the stars are spinning around point that doesn't have a bright star very close to it.
2) You see the Milky Way, but you also see 2 fuzzy clouds, which are dwarf galaxies, first reported to science via Magellan, as he circumnavigated the globe in 1519. They are 163- and 296- hundred thousand light years away (! kinda amazing).
They are not visible from above 20 degrees north latitude, because the Earth is in the way.
