I saw that on the evening news 3-4 days ago. I have been fapping away at it ever since.

Yea it's pretty new. I don't know what day the live streaming started but the equipment was just delivered to the station last month so it couldn't have that long ago.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Quote:Captured one night last May this eight frame mosaic starts on the left, down Northside Drive through Yosemite National Park. It ends thousands of light-years away though, as the arc of the Milky Way tracks toward the center of our galaxy on the right, far beyond the park's rugged skyline. That night was still moonless when the storm clouds retreated, so the rocky faces of the surrounding mountains are lit by campfires and artifical lights. Yosemite Falls is at the left. The granite face of Half Dome juts above the far horizon, near the center of the view. The remarkable flash above it is a bright meteor. Part of the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower the colorful streak is moving up, its trail pointing directly back to the shower's radiant, low in Aquarius. This year's Eta Aquarids should peak in the moonless early morning hours of May 6 as the Earth sweeps through dust from the tail of Comet Halley.

Spectacular!

Looks like something captured from the new ISS HD Earth viewing experiment.

The video can be spectacular at times, and meh at others.

What satelite is this? (Figured it out. It's the International Space Station (ISS))

Maybe we can calculate when it will show us the moon or the sun or both simultaneously.

Ecliptic coordinates of the ISS in UT (universal time) for the next week.



The Sun (currently at about 50 ecliptic longitude)



Luna (currently at about 180 ecliptic long. and -2.5 ecliptic lat.)

Hold on... How big would the moon even be in the video? The satellite is 263 miles away, and the moon is ~.00255 AU or 237,037 miles away.
Just got some screenshots of a sunlit glowing horizon at 15:55-16:00.

It was pretty, but the screenshots are low quality. Sad

Ahh, this page is moving slow! Is that partially (or mostly) my fault?

Ahh, it's better now.
