Earth - A 24-hour cycle as seen from space.

[darkninja0200]

does anyone else see an eyeball?

[nrm981bt]

This is from a Dish Network satellite

[skateboy159]

its cool at 0:46 0:50 u can see the moon

[Mistermuggz]

Very nice!

[MrRicharddale]

Fake? no way. this is real. Time to pop your bubbles but we dont live in the stone age. This footage is also live on dish earth on the dish network.

And to the guy who said "next time animate the clouds" put your bifocals on on look harder. They are moving.

[pamibeau]

Wrong perspective here. If it was the Earth rotating, we would have a complete ball all the time, see the continents cruise by, and never see the Sun.

This is more likely a view from a satellite of some sort orbiting the Earth in a fixed amount of time (depending of the altitude [!] of its orbit).

Great video all the same, mind you! §:c)

[chadscience1]

Next time, try to animate the clouds, buttwinkle.

[MadsterV]

@chadscience1 yeah it looks like all unrealistic and stuff

XD

[way2muchsense]

So if I wanted to see the Moon, I had to tune in to Dish Earth at around 2 PM EDT.

[baseballpoke]

i saw sun in here so its amoston march 20th spring 0`

[NickNoRtHeRnLiGhTs]

dude thats cool!

[milesshrog]

Man, this is so cool!

To anybody that is trying to see how this is fake, I hate you. I absolutely can't stand people like you. The world isn't out to get you and trick you every second of your life, contrary to what you think. People don't spend their entire lives trying to "fool" your dumb ass. Wake the hell up and stop brooding over how everything is fake or a conspiracy. :)

[1toysrus18]

@milesshrog what r u trying to say?

[milesshrog]

@1toysrus18 There isn't anything "implied" or "between the lines" in my comment. It's pretty straight forward. My comment is a response to the people in the comments trying to argue that this is fake and that NASA is evil.

[impreprex1979]

@TenzLondon

Keep your bullshit to yourself. Thank you.

[impreprex1979]

@TenzLondon Only when I talk about religious salesmen/spammers.

I swear, it's like you folks get kickbacks or something for recruiting people to your religions.

[serjito87]

what the heck happened at 0:18 ? i dont get it im fool?

[ytmoog]

@serjito87

At 0:18 the sun passed behind the earth.

[serjito87]

@ytmoog thanks for the reply, I was wondering why we can see the "stars" inside of the planet circle xD now I read that coment about the "dots" that the camera lense creates.. xD

[TheBenjaminVrenko]

nice comments people, I'm proud ;D

[derekxnl]

I am deeply depressed because of all the completely idiotic comments people have left on this video. People are so stupid. They are hopeless.

[TenzLondon]

@derekxnl Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

[YouNeverMind00]

channel EARTH is pretty bitchin

did you record it ALL day?

[electricninja2007]

I can see my house from here!

[FateMan22]

Lol @ the moon.

[Asabasgurl]

It's so pretty!! :D I have a question though? How come the camera (well what the camera is attached to) isnt moving? I thought all space ships and satellites revolve around the earth like the moon does? :o

[TommyTMOD]

@Asabasgurl Camera is "not moving" because it is on geostationary orbit - it mean orbital speed of camera is same as earth's rotating speed.

[qazzazi]

@TommyTMOD you didnt think the sun revolved around the earth did you, my my my

[TommyTMOD]

@qazzazi Maybe you should read my post again with more mindfulness :)

[qazzazi]

@TommyTMOD i meant that to the person u were explaining it to :)

[Zhengf3]

have you seen the eye?! its there looking at you its Illuminati i think

[pleyades1711]

i don t get, why the clouds on earth aren t moving??

[Shitcuntz]

@pleyades1711 look closer :D

[kendallbob]

crazy how this only has 6,000 views while some lady gaga video has about half a billion... damn.. very sad.

[gettinaway7]

FACK THATS COOL

[punishalltrolls]

what a lunar eclipse might look like on the moon @ 0:18

[mazecraze96]

those are not the other stars seen through earth... those are just lights of houses o r buildings on

[ccoraxfan]

The "stars" on the earth everybody is arguing about are most likely lights on the ground. Earth lights up at night, from causes both natural (thunder storms) and artificial (street lights).

[punishalltrolls]

@ccoraxfan no, sumitino is right. they're pixels/artifacts.

[sumitino]

the "dots" are hot pixels on the ccd camera - they are not stars in between the planet, in the planet or anywhere near the planet. the stars are not bending or moving or anything like that...

[dimplestrabe]

@sumitino I'd be interested to know how there are 'hot pixels' on a black subject.

Try this. Go into a darkened room and bump the ISO up on your camera and take a snap. You'll still get black. You won't get hot pixels as there's no light hitting the CCD.

That said, I can't provide a better explaination, so maybe I'm wrong.

[dimplestrabe]

@dimplestrabe On second thoughts. Yeh. It's fake.  But a good fake.

[Ipoonthecasbah]

lens flare. geosynchronous oribt.

[Dubaifreak]

how come the the satellite...of the imagery..is soooo freakin at the same spot..it is suppose to be Orbiting..not stationey... ??

[DepartArrive]

It's called "geosynchronous orbit" :P

[colorock07]

Its real, the stars in the earth are from behind the sun, light bends people.

[QuincyCHL]

Great video, is from a geostationary satellite.

[zolikoff]

Obvious fake is obvious. Not that it's a bad thing, but if the vid isn't real footage, don't try to claim that it is...

The stars are not reflections or bent light, it's an editing problem.

Also, the supposed camera should be on a geostationary satellite because of its tidal lock with the planet - and there is no reason for a geostationary satellite to be placed so far away from the Earth.

[thengel24235]

It's real. If all of the dots were stars, then they would move, since we are synced with the Earth's orbit. They don't move, so they aren't stars. Notice at 0:09 they get brighter- this is the sensitivity of the camera changing. Which means they are there the whole time, i.e. camera noise. If it was fake, they wouldn't be there- it would look near perfect. It's not an 'editing problem'.

There is a reason for the geostationary orbit to be that far away. It's 35,800 km from sea level. Look it up.

[tomcatlizzy]

awesome video

[imarchello]

Don't feed geocentrists, they still exist and will use this as a proof. xD

[beastdude]

i'd like to know why there's stars at 0:19 within the circle of the earth, unless there are stars between the camera and the earth, or dust on the lense, or very very stationary ufo's.

[smkymcnugget420]

its because the gravity of the planet earth is bending the light from the stars, making it look like that.

[dizzydup]

Earth does not have nearly enough mass to noticeably bend light to an observer. Even with huge astronomical bodies, it is very hard to determine that the bending of light even occurs, and it certainly wouldn't have anything to with this.

I am also curious as to why it appears that there are stars there. My guess is some type of reflection.

[sumitino]

@dizzydup

You are correct about the relationship with Parallax Error and the body of mass in question here is far too low at this perspective.

As per the "dots"... ever heard of hot pixels on a ccd camera?  : )

Enjoy the video kids.

[specialKismyname]

"stars between the camera and the Earth"

lololololololololololoolololol­olololololol

[karnak99]

Very cool video. Geosynchronous satellite I assume? I just wish it had self adjusting white balance or contrast.
