ISS Timelapse - Traveling to Europe, twice (26/31 July 2022) 

That's a very good idea.

starts out with Algeria, then the straight of Gibraltar, Spain and Portugal, heading across the med to northern Italy and Greece. Then is jump cuts to essentially a similar track, but starting further east, cutting across Libya and med, Corsica and Sicily, pretty much all of Italy. You can see a little of crimea and the dnipro river in Ukraine, and then ends up over russia.

U can on Google maps.

That should show you how small we really are

maybe its a sand storm

@@bamf6603 not a sandstorm, but a huge fire in Morocco www.earthdata.nasa.gov/worldview/worldview-image-archive/morocco-fires-26-July-2022

oh wow@@astronauticast

Esattamente come quando si osserva il cielo notturno da Terra, anche sulla ISS non si vedono migliaia di satelliti. Solo alcuni satelliti si vedono in condizioni di luce particolari, come ad esempio prima dell'alba o dopo il tramonto; gran parte di questo video è girato durante il "giorno orbitale", quindi è molto difficile vedere qualcosa. Infine, i satelliti sono molto molto molto piccoli rispetto a quello che si potrebbe pensare guardando quei siti in cui ci sono le simulazioni in cui si vedono ammassi di puntini, che però non rispettano le dimensioni e le distanze reali.

The camera is fixed, installed on a tripod inside the ISS. The movement is due the Station that is orbiting.

They are no shadows, but they are scrathes and dirt on the window / camera sensor.

Oh 😮

Unfortunately, it is not possible to wipe this: www.spacesafetymagazine.com/space-debris/kessler-syndrome/micrometeroid-hit-iss-cupola/

As previously stated in other comments, it’s a scratch or dirt on the window or camera sensor.

It's simply a glare on the Cupola window. It's an object inside the module, that reflects its image on the glass.

It is a scratch in the Cupola window.

Please read the other comments. Already explained.

Many astronaut posted some footage on 𝕏 (for istance Sultan Al Neyadi). Or try to search RED CAMERA (or IMAX camera) footage on the ISS (google or youtube).

There is a famous timelapse by Sean Doran called "Orbit". Check his youtube channel.

About 5 times

@@astronauticast wow TY

Interpolation algorithm glitch

So true . Every globe and map I look at has borders and I work hard to memorize them so I know my “ geography “. Nice to be reminded they are arbitrary , optional , and one could almost say -fictional .

The most relevant comment on this thread 👏

400 km

@@astronauticast I would have said more between 1000 km to 2000 km altitude, 400 km is not much.

​@@jona1pail122it is 400km, dude. Look it up

The camera is INSIDE the ISS Cupola module. The object is not something flying below, but it is simply a small dirt/crack in one of the protective glass of the windows.

Already told in other comment: it is not a shadow, but a scratch in the Cupola window.

The ship

​@@astronauticastwell, actually both are moving

@@RandyMahnkeThat's right, what we replied was obviously an approximation 😀

- Earth rotates ONCE every 24 hours. - ISS orbits the Earth 16 times every 24 hours.

Because the orbit is circular: first Kepler law

You can spot some satellites in nightime timelapses,. just before the sunrise or just after the sunset. During daytime video it is almost impossibile to see such objects. In addition to this, always be aware that the representations of the space junks show them as big dots only for visualization reason, but they are smaller.

Nearly all satellites are at a much high orbit.
