[staypress]

is this really live direct from NASA or is it a recording?

[DjBmNukez]

is there a 1080p

?

Why don´t you see any stars?

[SuicideBombaHD]

@whatthehell81 there are no stars in are solor system exept for are sun... so we dont see any stars in this video

[Cayden1986]

@whatthehell81

I think this would be due to the fact that light generated from the sun hits the Earth and then bounces off the atmosphere surface of our planet which in turn generates a fog of light from our perspective, which in turn renders what you can see in space behind it barely to completely invisible (depending on the object).

This being said, if the space station was on the dark side of the Earth, you would see the stars in the far distance.

[MrMoorkey]

@whatthehell81 A bright objest in any camera blinds the camera to anything else in shot. If they set the camera for a low enough F-Stop to capture the stars, the Earth would appear to be a dazzling white object (which would ruin the picture). As the F-Stop is increased, the less light is let into the camera. This renders the Earth visible in all it's glory, but kills all light from the relatively dim stars.

it's so fucking sad that i will never have a chance to see the space.. I would give ANYTHING for that..

[valarorome]

that scares me

[Urdalibertine]

Why build stuff on the Moon or Mars or anywhere else really.....the real estate with the best view is right next to us.

[unknotmiguel]

why there is no stars? there is no atmosphere layer to obscure them... i was hoping to see that fantastic photos they show

[tziuriky]

@unknotmiguel stars cannot be seen because of the strong sunshine. It's like when you try to see stars in a very light polluted city, but in this case the strong light comes from the powerful sun and not from bulbs, so it's even worst.

[toolover10]

Amazing and scary. Those people up there must be a different breed.

[desriac]

Why don't we see any stars and only black?

[marmid94]

@desriac

because the light of the earth is too strong also the lights of the stars dont get through.

thats the same what happens with photos from the moon

[desriac]

@marmid94 thank you form the info :)

[motalk19]

Does anyone know where i can see space views from the iss/// All of them are towards earth weird?..... Or some pictures and videos of the moon like recent piczz..i find it odd that with all tech that humanity have ...there is nothing to b found about the moon or close space views ....most of it is comp made or really old fuzzy picz..

(captain) ''Hey i can see my house from here!!!!''

[electricguru]

Oh yea, I forgot about the camera aperture. Objects far off, and dimly lit compared to closer objects, don't show up very well, but the parking lot concept is correct too. Make sure it is a very brightly lit parking lot, and stand in the very middle, or the brightest area, then look anywhere you want, even straight up.

[electricguru]

The earth itself, is very bright from reflected, and absorbed sunlight. The astronauts, on their first trip to the moon,made a commit that when there were about half the trip, they could see the universe like no other time. There was no bright light close by, the Sun, Earth, and the Moon looked so small, and they could see every star in the heavens.

[electricguru]

Well, here's a scenario to think about. The same question was brought up by the NASA moon landings as well. Mostly by skeptics of the event, but try this. Go stand in a very brightly lit parking lot, then look away in a darker direction, to try and see any stars. You may or may not see any, but probably will see a few, but they won't be anywhere as bright, or as many. It's a similar illusion.

[kendallbob]

look at all that black space. youve got to wonder what its made of.. holy crap. i cant even think about it! its too much for my brain to comprehend.

[efren417]

theres something i always ask my self if the sun is the closest star thats near to earth how is it possible to see stars that are way to far beyon the sun to see and when im watching the nasa space station videos and theres no blinking stars around up there in any video weird huh

[W1LL528]

@efren417 - good point, ive been asking myslelf the same question cant really get my head around it.... then again no one her has been into space thats on youtube im guessing so there might not be any stars visable atall its just some freak nature occurrence we can see things in the dark..... cus think about it guys your only believing other people about stuff around you so maybe its like something beyond an explanation. remember "everything you ever know or will know is wrong"- scientific quote

[inglishmai]

@efren417 don´t be dump man... the cameras can´t take that kind of light is too small...

You need special material and cameras to take stars shoot.

If you point to the earth with the eye of the camera open so much to see stars you would not be able to watch the earth in first place ´couse the so much light will blind the camera.

go out side take a camera and record the stars i bet you can... jejejej

[Bakumatsu1]

He's right, the apature of the lens is not adjusted to pick up the faint light of stars. It's set for the much brighter planet earth, and the light reflected off of it.

Other planets look brighter than stars in the sky from earth as well. They are like mirrors in space.

[BadCompany2Extreme]

@efren417 No not really. Let me explain. The Earth is bright, because it is lit by the sun. The stars are bright suns, but far away, and become faint points compared to the Earth. So, the stars don't show up on the film by the International Space Stations live external camera.

space is an HD goldmine!

[megamario3247]

*sigh* beautiful i wish i saw Hubble's video images live though

[sychententy]

had same thought! that would be awesome!

[inspektura43]
