ISS Stop-Motion Sequence Photography of Earth

I also wanted to point out I believe at some point in the video a UFO can be seen in the distance and then it zooms off.

UFO at 1:08 and 3:20

That's some great CGI from NASA!

Look at 1:28. What is that large asteroid looking object rising from rotation towards the white triangle grappling attached to the ISS.

Inverted triangle. The V hook.

Here is a good animated schematic of how the ISS came togeather over the years.

Not trying to take anytrhing away from this video cause it is absolutly beautiful....but why is every single part of the video the stars are visible even if the sun is in view or not oppose to the moon landing video thwere there are no stars...it's just further evidence that the moon landing video was fake....not saying we never landed on the moon...just saying that the video we watched was was shot on earth and the real video had things in it that they dont want the public to know about

Pretty sure we can see the stars because we have better.cameras and they take a longer exposure causing more star light to be captured.

Isn't that the Moon in the final sequence?

The rest is pretty much all night photography.

faked and CGI by NASA = not a scientist around.

Any moment now that shill Astromut will be here for damage control

Damage control? That would require you to do damage, which you haven't, and it would require me to be invested in controlling it, which I'm not. I just enjoy debunking ridiculous claims about astronomy and spaceflight. There's nothing fake about ISS.

At 1:11 toward the left it looks like you can see the aurora curling into the hole that goes into the center of the earth's hollow core near the pole.

Hey Astromut, you seem to be on GLP 24 hours a day to debunk any accusations of fakery by NASA.

I wonder why..

Just prove one thing fake about ISS idiot!

To annoy you.

great video. and the object 1:28 is just another LARGE rock floating in space. and to answer the question about why we see all those stars in this video and not in old nasa videos, it is simple because of the video quality. think about what they were using back then. i believe it was an 8m, i might be wrong. but none the less we have quality now that is better by a long shot. so you see more of the light that is coming at the camera.

now why are there still today people that believe we have never been in space. how many times where you dropped on your head? no really answer that one.... we will wait while you call your mother. after that let us see your proof that we never went into space. sorry glp'er might have to wait awhile for those answers.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing OP.

Thanks for the PIN

Highly improbable that a random space rock would have a velocity nearly identical to that of the ISS.
I suspect it is a reflection on the ISS of a feature on the surface of Earth.
It moves because that feature moves.


NASA video-cameras prior to ca 1980 were vidicon tube cameras, no match for a modern HDTV CCD camera.
(The stills that make up OP's video were made with a 12 megapixel Canon SLR, btw, not a video camera.)
Digital technology also allows you to transmit much more data over the available bandwidth.

For Apollo the big issue is of course that everything happened in sunlight. Pretty hard to video or photograph a star if everything else in your FoV is a million times brighter.
