where are all the lights in the shadow? Every ground POV shows the cities lighting up once it goes dark, yet the ISS shows a very faux looking shadow with absolutely no lights, yet at night the ISS always shows lights in every city..... not a rocket scientist or anything but looks like some nasa fakery yet again 🤓
It's diffraction. It can be seen on "everyday" shadows as well where edges are often blurry. You can also test it yourself by moving a light source further away; the further the light source, the blurrier it gets.
@@lw216316 I'm not going to act like I'm any kind of expert so I'll let you find out by yourself, there's a ton of explanations online. Just type "why are shadows blurry around the edges" and you'll find all the answers you're looking for.
If the satellite & space station was inside the shadow, the Sun & Moon would look pretty much like it did from the surface, but seeing the shadow surrounded by the sunlit part of Earth like here is _impossible_ from the surface itself.
It would been fast partial eclipse i think in few orbits, chances for iss to be in moon umbra is super low and flyby would been super quick (less then a minute if not few secounds). That said flyby would been visible by observers on earth, ISS is visible in naked eye and brightest manmade sattelite as bright as venus.
The solution to eye pain after the eclipse is to rub vinegar in your eyes since a eclipse naturally causes your retina to become more basic and needs to be balanced out with a acid like vinegar
The shadow shown is way too small for the actual “official” size of the moon..being the diameter of the moon is 1/4 that of earth….the shadow should cover approximately 2100 miles across during the full eclipse….not just a few hundred miles as shown….
Because it's in space looking at the shadow of totality, not in it. Given how fast the moon's shadow moves and objects rotate the earth I'm not sure if it's possible to achieve a view of an eclipse from orbit.
Why would they? They had the view we were all missing, and millions of others were recording it. If they didn’t record the shadow it would have been a missed opportunity
It's not like they can just turn around towards another window on the other side, as space stations are rather big and don't exactly have a lot of windows.
The earth has to high of an albedo to expose for it and the stars, it's daytime. Camera sensors and your eyes work in the same way, earth reflects 30% of the light it receives.
@@fazenibbs Sure. You could catch the stars in a photograph, but then earth will be all washed out being only white. Surely if the case is that they fake the picture they would also be able to fake the stars? 😂
@@chrissmilich3530: ok flatter boy. What caused the eclipse? Oh, I know you’re not man enough to reply but I figured I’d just make you look bad again. Runaway, child. The adults are talking.
"Coincidence"? Really? If it is, it'd be the coincidence to end all coincidences! There is an incredibly mind-blowing size difference in our Sun compared to our Moon. Yet in perspective with the distance between them, they are EXACTLY the same size to where the Moon can perfectly cover the Sun!
They most certainly are not exactly the same size. It can vary quite a lot so that the moon can be partially blocking the sun, annular solar eclipses where it goes past the sun but doesn't block all of it, appearing just as a shadow at the center with the sides of the sun still showing (at which point it might even be hard to see that the moon is in front, because the sun will still be too bright to look at directly, maybe just dimmer than usual). When there's a total solar eclipse, it might look to you that it is "exactly the same size" when you are in the shadow and looking up, because just like if you would hold any ball in front of a bright flashlight so that you cover the flashlights spot entirely with the ball, you can still see the edges illuminated by the light behind it. The brighter the object behind the more it refracts light from it's sides despite casting a shadow on you. If you wanna test it out, put your phone's flashlight on (though be careful not to blind yourself too bad, they're damn bright haha) and point it to your face and block the bright spot with your thumb... Thumb edges will be lit up even if you'd put it so close to your face that your thumb appears much bigger than the main bright light. (Which will ofc be more visible if you're in an otherwise pitch black dark room)
@@sarcasm-83 The Sun's corona may also give the impression that the Moon covers it exactly even if the Moon angular size is several % larger than the Sun.
@@fromnorway643 Yeah, true. As well as the sun being so much larger than the moon, that it illuminates much more than 50% of the moon's other side. Also on both sides and only a smaller area of it's shadow is without any direct sunlight (umbra)... But yeah I'm admittedly not great at explaining these things (and probably lack the right terms), but I get what .. happens during it :D
With how expensive they are, I'd be surprised if they didn't have all kinds of monitoring systems to track em and their surroundings, including cameras...
@@GuardianSoulkeeper All we ever get is pictures and images of the earth from space, the moon from space, the stars, the planets, black holes etc... Lookup "What is the difference between a picture and a photograph?" and "What is the difference between an image and a photograph?".
@@GuardianSoulkeeper Try to find some real photographs and film of satellites floating around in space. There should be thousands of hours of real film and thousands of real photographs of satellites floating around in space yet there are none.
@@GuardianSoulkeeper I have NEVER seen any evidence of a whirling, twirling, hurling, hurtling, wibbling, wobbling, zipping, zooming, spinning and spiraling space ball, spherical "planet" earth and NEITHER HAS ANYONE ELSE.
@@GuardianSoulkeeper Regarding the sun, try to find a working demonstration of a heat and light source heating and lighting a surface while the distance between that heat and light source and surface is left cold and dark. Try to find some evidence that light, and heat, can travel as far as they say they can (millions and millions and millions and millions of miles) and then, again, while leaving its path both cold and dark. Even the most powerful of lasers would degrade over much shorter distances.
I mean they said that it was only 90% up there due to them being closer to the moon, therefore the sun would have still been visible around the outside of the moon
The first one is from a lower orbit station at about 400 kilometres (250 mi). The other one is from a satellite and the footage is sped up to appear much faster. It's said starlink satellites are at about 550km (~340miles), but satellites in general can orbit all the way up to 2000km (1 242 miles) or so....
There 2 nodes in moon orbit where moon can be in between sun and earth and sun on sky passes each once a year toghter with earth shadow on opposite side, so theres atleast 2 solar eclipses and lunar eclipses of any kind (include fully partial) somewhere in the world every year with quite constant gaps, in fact thats what happened in US, as half year ago there was annular eclipse in US when sun on sky passed node on other side. Any kind of solar eclipse happens in one area every few years as effects of moon shadow usally covers entire hemisphere, it so often and sometimes magnitede so low that people and aspecially media dont care much. I interested in astronomical events and i seen multiple partial eclipses in my life.... i really want ti see totality one day
I have not ever seen a single one, as the shadow never happens to hit Finland. But it seems you are at an area it's shadow crosses often. Consider yourself lucky :)

It’s called radiative heat transfer, look it up. There is nothing between the Earth and Sun but vacuum, thus nothing to heat up. This is not a hard question.
@@robertstrawser1426 Please, if you make any claims, provide as much evidence as you possibly can, such as working demonstrations and experiments, to back up your claims, or we will all assume that you cannot.
@@robertstrawser1426 One of the rules I live by is to ALWAYS try to prove and disprove anything to myself. EVERYONE should be doing that. Blindly trusting others is what got us all into this mess in the first place. If you're having trouble finding evidence, and I know you are because I've been looking for years, a good place to start would be, how did you prove this to yourself?
@@robertstrawser1426 I've watched plenty of clear vacuum chamber videos to know that a clear vacuum chamber can be lit up, or darkened, depending on the light on either the inside, or the outside, of a vacuum chamber.
@@TheRealNewWhirledOrderLol, this one is too easy. Since me doing the experiment is pointless, I’ll give you some opportunities to test it yourself. 1. Go outside on a hot bright sunny day, put your hand on the hood of a white car. Then put your hand on the hood of a black car sitting right next to it. Same day, same air temperature, guess which one will be hotter? How did that black car get so much hotter in air that is exactly the same temperature? 2. Grab a big magnifying glass on a nice sunny day. Now focus the light into a pinpoint. Wow, the paper chars. The heat didn’t come from the air or the lens in your hand. Where do you think it came from? This also works when you put the paper in a vacuum, we did it in my 7th grade science class. 3. Go to the beach ALL DAY, with no sunscreen, on an 80 degree (F) day when it’s 100% overcast, no sun. Then do the same thing on a bright sunny 80 degree day with no shade. Let me know how that works for you. 4. Take a bell jar and pump ALL the air out of it. Can you still see through the jar to the other side? Can you still see what’s IN the jar just as well as you could even with NO air in it. As you said you must do these experiments yourself. You will automatically claim I faked any experiments I do for you. But these will give you a head start on learning some basic science on different methods of heat transfer. In the meantime go lock yourself in a black car in the Florida sun with the windows rolled up and see if you can figure out why it’s so much hotter in the car, than the air is outside the car.
Got you 😄. Now see how small shadow of the moon it's like that be Because it's not 1000s mile away it's local you know just Up there under the dome not way off Of space lies 😮🎉🎉
Did you know that you can calculate the Moon’s distance for yourself, if you can be bothered putting in a little effort (and if you have a grown up to help you)?
_sigh_ ... (edit: frustrated insult redacted)... look, if you write "solar eclipse" on google then check one of the first pictures from BBC you can see how it works and how the shadow of the eclipse, caused by the moon is NOT the size of the moon. There is only a small part on earth that sunlight does not get to, but a lot of sun gets past the moon because the sun is much larger than the moon. The are that is in the shadow is called Umbra. The area that has some of the sunlight blocked, but not all of the sunlight blocked is called a Penumbra and if you are there, looking up, you will see a partial solar eclipse. The picture says more than a 1000 words, so do take a look at it, if you wish to not live in incredible ignorance.
The moon and the sun are on the other side and would look pretty much the same as from on earth, so........ why would they when they have a chance at a view like this instead?
We’re evolved primates we were never meant to see anything like this. There’s no reason for you to expect your brain to be able to process whether it’s genuine or not. Because of this, it’s important to form opinions based on information OUTSIDE of your perception. Maybe it does look too good to be true… But what incentive would spaceX have to fake a video like this? For an eclipse that has been forecasted for decades. How could it have been faked if millions of people were able to step outside and witness it for themselves?
The earth reflects 30% of the light it receives, it's the same reason you can't see stars during the day, the camera/your eyes are exposed for the light of the earth/sun.
When you're in a well lit room and it's dark outside and there's a window a bit away from you, you can't see anything but black out there. When you're outside on a sunny day and you'd see a window into a room with no ultra bright lights in, it will look completely dark in there even if the people in the room would see just fine. With the fully illuminated huge planet earth in the shot, the light from the stars around would appear non-existant and very likely even invisible to your naked eye, even moreso for the camera because they are just as far, as they appear to be, when we see them from earth during dark nights from on earth. The stars are still there during daytimes too after all, but you can't see them as their light is so much lower than the sunlight around that it's not possible to see them. (a star sky would not even illuminate a night without the moon after all... it takes a lot of darkness to see the stars. I think so many people claim this kind of video footage to be bad cgi, because they are so used to completely exaggerated actual cgi where everything is lit up equally)
It looks terrible, because it isn't cgi. If it were cgi, you'd see a clearly defined shadow, stars around the planet etc. much more extra detail than what a camera can pick up in such lighting conditions.
@@AM-rd9pu LOL! Where are the stars then? It has nothing to do with the light. Shall I post other videos that prove it more? You people really have no clue the level of graphics we have. Most of you will fall prey to the new AI videos being released that are 100% fake but look 100% real.
@@Elkysium My first comment still applies. The stars are still way too dim relative to everything else in frame to be visible. You’re providing a great example of the Dunning Kruger effect. It’s clear that you don’t know what you’re talking about but you act like you do.
@@AM-rd9pu You should be looking in the mirror when you say that. Those in the wrong always resort to derogatory comments while those in the right, maintain their composure. Thanks for clarifying that for us.
@@AM-rd9pu You might want to search youtube for day night terminator line and city lights at night so you can prove yourself wrong. You can continue to lie to yourself if you want because you have no solid proof other than what you were TAUGHT! Any proof you think you have, I can destroy it. I can prove it without swaying the conversation. Give me your coveted belief of a globe, and I will not only show you but prove to you how gullible you are.
Flip your screen upside down. You will clearly see that the Earth is flat. Let's not play games. Your satellite isn't even going in a circle Circle around the planet is going in a circle around the continents.😂😂😂
