Orbital motion of the ISS, visualized by sequentially adding the still frames of my star trails. Seen are stacking golden streaks of city lights and straight-line stars in our orbital direction. A surreal perspective of our Earth!

Orbital star trails showing satellites flashing white marks into the time history of arcing stars. When viewed up close, they remind me of scratches on a vinyl record!

STUNNING TIME-LAPSE FROM SPACE A breathtaking time-lapse captured from the ISS shows Earth in motion like you’ve never seen before. City lights flicker as the planet spins silently beneath the stars. No CGI. Just our world - alive and beautiful. Source: AstronautiCast

A perspective of Electronic City you’ve probably never seen before. Roads are straight, but the metro line is curvy! #bangalore #bengaluru

This incredible footage from Artemis II shows swarm of moving metals orbiting our planet like bees around a hive. We are witnessing the transformation of our orbital environment in real-time.

Those are city lights. The "cloaking" is due to a view obstruction created by part of the ISS. I explain in less than 50 seconds. My qualifications: I've watched over 16000hrs of ISS live feed footage.

In 1989, Orbital recorded Chime in one take; six inputs, straight to cassette. From a stair cupboard to Top of the Pops, @PeteTong called it “one of the finest examples” of a new movement. Joey Beltram flipped it in Energy Flash. The ripple hasn’t stopped. #Orbital

This is Newton’s Cannonball. It’s the secret to how every satellite, including the ISS, stays in the sky without "floating." They are in a state of permanent free-fall. Orbital Velocity: 28,000 km/h. This is the speed required to "fall" around the curve of the Earth. Escape Velocity: 40,000 km/h. The speed needed to leave Earth and head for Mars or beyond.

Moments of the Unknown is a film to celebrate humanity. Every day for a year, I created ten-second Super-8 portraits of people across all 7 continents. To show that, as humans, we are one. My mission is to spread peace, love, and friendship through the lens of life. The soundtrack honors the Voyager Golden Record, curated by Carl Sagan and launched by NASA in 1977. A portrait of Earth sent out to the stars. Half a century later, that record is still traveling outside of our solar system. This artwork is its echo. A message once aimed at the stars, now returning home. Happy Earth Day 🌎

🚨ISS FOOTAGE: A LOOK AT OUR NIGHT SKY FROM SPACE This is what Earth looks like at an altitude of 250 miles: wars, cities, your group chat, all just spots of light blinking in infinity. Each cluster of lights is a city flickering like it's trying to be mistaken for a star by aliens a million light years away. Kind of magical. Kind of funny. Source: @nasadailyupdates on TikTok
