discovery timelapse 110307 ladanyi

[josyula547]

how come someone dislike this it reflects the whole of mankinds efforts to get into space. and the fusion of the paths was awesome.(ISS and Discovery)

[josyula547]

plz reply...

1.if you have first seen the "discovey of twilight " APOD ...

How did the motion of the shuttle seemed to be?(i mean , were u thinking it was moving from left to right or the opposite) and R U A left hander or right Hander?

2.Did you observe that in the photo you see the trails begining with smaller lines to bigger ones(pls start from right side of the pic). Y do u think that happened??

[cattoy42]

@josyula547 Regarding your second question (I'll let the poster answer the first ;-) ), the difference in size of the lines would be caused by perspective. The earlier ones are farther away towards the horizon, so appear shorter. Assuming the photographer was using equal length exposures, all the lines are actually the same length, i.e., the spacecraft are covering the same distances in space for each line we see. Only the angle in which we see the lines is different.

Is it possible to get a higher resolution copy of this image?

This would make an excellent wallpaper if it had more pixels :)

[zabadu2]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[babjanko]

and i'm sure the dislike was just some accident. hand slipped pushing the wrong button or sthing like that :)

[babjanko]

a composite pic of the timelapse's photos has become the Astronomy Picture of the Day at the Nasa today (March 10).

In the video, the trails of the ISS and Discovery are seen to separate as the pair passes above the Moon. Pictures taken over Bakonybél, Hungary by astronomer Tamás Ladányi.

Great Sequence!

@jbuckley8 Link appears to be broken

[metamorphmuses]

I much prefer this to the time-lapse photos showing the same. Nice.

I am NOT the one who disliked the video, but I am guessing it has to do with lack of music or commentary. It seems like there are two camps on YT: those who demand audio accompaniment, and those who do not care for the extraneous use of sound. I am in the latter camp, so I hate clips that have music just for the sake of it. But I know the other side of the argument is just as vehement, so my suspicions lie there.

[yoghurtdog]

@metamorphmuses

agreed mate....and i'm a music nut so it's odd that i say that. it's really irritating when you have a video with unnecessary music, i'd much rather hear the actual sounds made by whatever's been filmed!

[maomatt]

Who disliked this vid? I am curious.

[spiXell]

absolutly awsome...

Very cool.  I've never been able to see the ISS

[artoorew]

@Armistice023 maybe you were, just wasn't able to identify it - it looks like an ordinary satelite

[Armistice023]

@artoorew Pretty sure I haven't.  I've heard it's brighter than a normal satalite. And I mean through a telescope, lol

[artoorew]

@Armistice023 it is a bit brighter, though I'm pretty sure you wont be able to track it with a telescope because it will be passing by very quick :)

[CoxRockets]

@artoorew, it is indeed possible to track with a telescope. I have done it twice, once with a Meade ETX-90 and once with a Bushnell Voyager. Both times I moved the scope by hand. Through the ETX I was easily able to make out the solar panels and main truss on the ISS, even as it was moving rapidly through the field of view.

[artoorew]

@CoxRockets hehe, yeah maybe it is if you're using low magnification

[DireGobliiin]

Great video.

[sebagr]

So f*cking good...

[juggleguy87]

Very nicely done.

[petlovergirll]

On its final flight, the Space Shuttle Discovery and International Space Station form a close pairing in the night skyscape. Still glinting in the sunlight in low Earth orbit, they gracefully trace overlapping arcs from lower right to upper left. Moon, Jupiter, Discovery, and ISS are reflected in the calm waters of Lake Bakonybél, Hungary.

I am bummed it was cloudy in MN, US. Looked epic!
