GiveTheWorld.com: Footage of Earth (Captured: 03/10/09)

[tehdusto]

If you look carefully you can see the clouds move! fantastic.

[jamespeezer]

Anyone notice ufo flying behind planet lol

[icunowlibra]

@jamespeezer I did. And I saw the lil green guy flashing the middle finger

[485164114]

what?????

[Acosta816villy816]

How the hell could you "dislike" earth?! hmm....must be 17 Aliens

[hunter1st1st]

are they satalites at 19 seconds?

[uppercutter21]

@hunter1st1st Probably, yeah. we have over 3000 satellites orbiting the Earth.

[steveshort4steven]

Magnificent! The universe is awesome

[kokteilikook]

ring

[miketite]

So the satellite is geosynchronized with the Pacific Ocean?

Interesting they would use a more expensive satellite to permanently view the earth at an unappealing angle.

Why not a cheaper satellite that can view an entire hemishpere, or the entire earth for that matter? More profits for them, more education for us... so why not? Something's not right.

[blissdvd]

@miketite Uhhhhh...dude the camera is on a TELEVISION satellite whose position is chosen for best TV signal, they only put the camera on there as a bonus. It sees what it sees.

[Dreadnaughtt]

Those "stars" are the reflected light off of other satellites. All those points of light are satellites..

[xxTonyzPlacexx]

amazing! =) 

[DanielJoseDiego]

At the same 0:19, how is it possible to see stars right through the planet? As if Earth became transparent or something. ?

[hyrdrogenalpha]

@DanielJoseDiego The sensor becomes defective over time so you specks or "stars."

[PacifistDub]

@DanielJoseDiego yeh that doesnt happen

[DanielJoseDiego]

@PacifistDub So you're telling me those red, white, and blue specs are space dust on the lens and not stars in the background?

[PacifistDub]

@DanielJoseDiego haha na im pretty sure its a fake ay

[DanielJoseDiego]

@PacifistDub Oh stop it, you're confusing me more!! not funny... lol

[PacifistDub]

@DanielJoseDiego same Tikidub big up

[oroblram12]

@reck448 It was the moon.

[oroblram12]

Be sure to watch the earth on Sunday July 11; there will be a solar eclipse that day, with the moon casting it's shadow on the earth over the south pacific ocean. It should be possible to see it, like a small slowly moving black dot with a lighter shadow around it. Great video, thanks to whoever posted it.

[wolfishblue79]

(0:10-0:14 ) I love how It looks like the human eye!! So cool!

[kikobling]

hey i live there!!! lol

[iamsupercan]

I can see uranus.

[joelseph98]

God is awesome.

[Yournothawt]

That... Was........ AWESOME!!!!! I'm actually watching channel 212 Earth right now... lol mainly because our cable bill needs to be paid... I'm recording it then im gonna start it over and play it at 300x! It is Monday March 15, 2010 at 6:38 PM lol... right now it says on Channel 212 "03/15/2010 21:38:40 EDT" :D

[PinkIce2335]

Whoa!!!!! Like my teacher told me the beautiful Earth...I just love the solar system and the galaxy!!!!!!

[screamingmimi90]

Am I the only one who thinks the Dish Earth channel 212 is awesome? I absolutely love to watch the earth. I especially like the sunrise at 0:19-0:20. So cool to see this in real time on the channel. It starts as a little spot, then grows and grows! Wonderful.

[wolfishblue79]

I love it too. especially at that time when it looks like an eye. So creepy yet cool!

[CultureCreat0r]

that was beautiful!

[debieian]

Those aren't stars, but dust on the lense of the camera. Also interesting is the silhouette that forms due to the refraction of light around the earth by the atmosphere.

[BigZeeSizzle]

All I want to know is, plain and simple, what am I looking at? That big flash at 0:14...what is that? Is this the Earth going around the sun? And if so, is the satellite remaining stationary while filming this? I'm just confused all around. I would really love for someone to just let me know what it is I'm seeing here. I would really appreciate it...

[Thundercloud5000]

Hi Bigzee..

You are looking at the Earth, from a satelitte camera, a little over 22 thousand miles away.

the Satellite orbits the Earth once every day.

Because of this once per day orbit, it is always looking down at the same point of the Earth.

Because the Earth spins once per day too!

Imagine you were on a merry go round, looking towards the center, the center would appear motionless, but it is rotating as often as you are. Everything OUTSIDE of the merry go round appears to be moving.

[kklmjk]

@Thundercloud5000 After your explanation it maskes sense watching this video now. Thanks!

[Thundercloud5000]

Oh, also google this

wiki Geostationary orbit

There is a nice animated diagram showing what is happening. It will also help explain why the other objects are moving so fast!

[BigZeeSizzle]

Oh! Thank you so much. I'm a really hands on person, so what I did after reading what you said and looking at the Wiki page was, I put a pillow in the center of the living room, and stood with my back to it while holding a book out in front of me. I was the satellite, the book was Earth, and the pillow was the sun. Then I made a 360 degree turn, and was able to imagine the sunlight coming and going. Kinda complicated, but at least I get it now. Hehe. Thanks a bunch ^.^

[Thundercloud5000]

You are very welcome.

In your re-enactment though You would be the Earth..and when you spin around once, holding the book out...the book is the satellite!

[wolfishblue79]

@BigZeeSizzle The satellite is orbiting stationary around the earth but sun passes between satellite and earth. So there is a glare.

[goreziad]

either way why dont u just scream FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!111 like u guys do on every other video. except your videos about god.

[chrscorn]

Is this real?????

[x1schenectady1x]

i dont think so because when the whole earth ie in shadow you can see stars behind it and the last time i checked you cant see through the earth

[Promatheos]

I believe you'd be seeing "around" it. Since light can be bent by gravity you can see behind objects. Since the earth is eclipsing the sun, the stars you'd be seeing are the ones you'd see behind the sun if it weren't so bright. This was exactly what was done during a solar eclipse by the moon to confirm general relativity.

This video does appear to be quite real and if it is faked it was faked stunningly well.

[mobinmahmoudi]

I don't think the shiny dots are stars as they stay stationary when earth is still spinning! in this video we see sun in motion because the camera is fixed with earth's rotation, so we should see starts rotating around the earth with the sun too but it's just sun that is spinning and not the dots we see for few seconds so those can't be stars! they might be other satellites or maybe the camera's effect or something we don'n know.

[bigNcube]

Yes, the sun IS moving around the stationary Earth that God made. WYSIWYG. However, a heliocentrist will point out that the satellite is geo-synchronous. But, in all books on the subject of the Earth supposedly moving (rotating), they state that the Earth does not have a smooth, but rather a jerky rotational movement. If so, then those satellites would need to be constantly adjusted. It would be off by miles in just a week, left unaided. Geocentrism is the truth, so get re-educated.

[notsgnivil1]

How would you explain the aberration of starlight then? And how do you explain the parallax shift of stars when we are on opposite ends of our orbit. Or the orbits of other planets which we can measure the distance to and clearly see they rotate around the sun?  I can't even tell if this post is just a bad joke or not...?

[bigNcube]

Aberration of starlight? So, you would believe that a particular star is not really where it appears to be at any given moment? Your eyes must be deceiving you then, right? The stars rotate about the Earth once a day, the planets (means, 'wanderer') orbit the sun, and both the sun and moon orbit the Earth, which does not move. No joke. And the method of measuring vast distances is a bit iffy, to say the least. As for being on the opposite end of our 'orbit', you are merely begging the question.

[notsgnivil1]

Apparently you don't understand the evidence. Either a physics or a geometry course would suffice to change your mind (I promise). Lets do parallax shift! Hold your finger up in front of your face. Close one eye then the other. Notice how your fingers location seems to shift relative to the background? Thats parallax. Near stars shift relative to very distant stars when the Earth is on opposite ends of its orbit. A geoncentric model can't explain this - nor can it hold up the math.

[bigNcube]

*sigh*... I already know what parallax is. I've known for quite some time, and I didn't learn it during my terrible public education (see: indoctrination). Listen: If we look at the star 'Alpha Centauri' from an Earth circling the sun, parallax and trigonometry would assure us that the two are a bit more than 4.2 light years apart. BUT, looking at an Earth circled by the Sun, the distance turns out to be less than one twenty-fifth of that amount. They can't both be correct.

[notsgnivil1]

Ummm if the earth is stationary you should no parallax at all. I'm not even going to go further than that.

[bigNcube]

One more thing, the evidence is clear that the moon orbits once per day, from these images alone.. but the heliocentrists have lied to you by repeatedly stating in their textbooks and other propaganda-based articles that the moon takes roughly 30 days for one orbit of the Earth. We've all been fed that garbage from kinder up through college. How are you (and other heliocentrists) going to squirm out of that one?

[notsgnivil1]

Ummm.... or the satellite is orbiting with a period of one day? *squirm.* So, if by supposing the earth orbits around the sun, you are rejecting both Newtonian and Relativistic mechanics, what mechanism decides how the cosmos move? Because the systems of physics and astronomy work and make accurate predictions based on the mass/orbits of stellar objects. We know how much velocity you need to enter earths orbit, or even to leave it. (above)

[notsgnivil1]

We can predict the speed of an object's orbit based on the masses of the objects and its distance. Are you proposing that "God decides on a case by case basis." I'm going to propose that "what you see is what you get" and physical laws do exist. Period Squared (in years) equals orbital distance cubed (in AU) for every planet - including the earth. Your supposition is that physics, math, real observations are irrelevant.

[notsgnivil1]

And no one says the Earth has a jerky motion. Your local community college probably has a nice astronomy class with a lab and telescope access. The professors will be glad to guide you towards real observational evidence you can do yourself.

[shiki5876]

The satelitte must be in a geo-synchronous orbit because the video appears to show the sun revolving aroud a stationary Earth.

[KuroiNeko2bz]

@shiki5876 why is the stars stationary too? they orbit on the sun too?

[uppercutter21]

@KuroiNeko2bz Stars are way too far away to orbit the Sun (the nearest is 4 light yrs away). Only the planets in our solar system orbit our Sun. The small dots of lights on the screen that don't seem to move are other satellites orbiting Earth. One of them might even be the international space station. Any stars that are visible are very faint and do move in the background but just slightly (100th of an inch) with each day. If you watched for a year you'd probably see them move a lot.

[forgetTOexhale]

your welcome it took me a awhile to get up there

[redsomister]

so cool man thanks for posting this video

[kfag101]

i looked like the eye of God to me

[paulgrem]

Looks like a rerun from yesterday.

[formerF9er]

The dots are pixcels of the CCD element of the camera. They appear at :18, :19 then again at :26-:30. EchoStar XI is in the clarke belt at 22,240 miles up in the 110 degree orbital slot and there are two cameras onboard. The other cool thing is right towards the end you can see the Moon passing from left to behind Earth to right.

[grantpic17]

Pause it at :19, the earth is between the sun and echostar, cool shot but strange because it looks like you can see the stars through the earth

[pordakas]

grantpic17, I think the colorful dots are not stars, they're probably some sort of noise (either optical or electronic).

[grantpic17]

yeah, cool that makes sense

[akusticguitarist]

It's so cool to see the moon fly by behind Earth like that!

[Alfred8403]

Awesome! I wish give to the world could make it possible to the cable subscribers. because I love this channel I tey to see it everytime am at my sister's house.

[Ueberlandgeher]

you can see stars in friont of the "Planet" earth, that´s funny. As I say, I think these photos are manipulated in the same way as the flight to the moon. I think we live in a inner(hollow) earth. That´s the oldest world modell an I think the people in earlier periods knows much more than the materialistic science today.

Bible give reasons for that modell.

[JaeLdaZwilD]

what is 0:19 ?

[GiveTheWorld1]

At that point in the video the sun is passing from the left and then behind the Earth.  You will notice that the Earth becomes encapsulated by light which is from the Sun. As the sun becomes visible again it creates a diamond ring effect which is just light refracting.

[xXCHubacaSlay3rXx]

@JaeLdaZwilD its the satellites glare duh

[Ueberlandgeher]

i think that these photos, who show the earth as a planet, are manipulated.

[TGram29]

...and how?

Don't tell me you still think the Earth is flat.

[asexybadboy1]

you are so right

[gameking008]

i love channel 212. nice music to go with, too.

[haldejan]

where do i go to buy the personalized photo of earth from the satellite?

[xy9izzy]

What's with the giant eyeball from 0:07 to 0:12?

[bobcrunch]

This is an illusion. The earth is really flat.

[eduardo13rocha]

you are retarded

[herbmonth]

Amazing!

[mister14e]

we live in a hologram, light creates form Awesome video

[BenitoCameloXD]

it's full of stars...

[bigdanny1234]

no... camera products... think about the intensity of the light thats going into that thing, its not going to be perfect

[davek12]

I'm surprised that Echostar satellites have cameras.

[pehuensito]

why i saw the stars in the earth?

[IVAN2233]

i think its because of the ocean reflection

[pehuensito]

Why i do not have an answer?

[ShaggyD808]

Diffraction people!!! Simple physics or is evry1 that dumb?

[dronexmail]

Hope one day we can see it in this perspective

[dazvid]

Amazing.

[ManOnmo0n]

WOW! ^^

[antydef]

WYKOP EFEKT KURWAAAAAAAA

[knivesxd]

fake

[Lartia]

Stars in the earth and clouds not moving at all?

Fake.

Anyway, where's the explosion?

[Ronsmytheiii]

The clouds were moving, also those were not stars it was destroyed parts of the CCD camera from cosmic radiation

[Valcgo]

Wait a second, and to think this whole time I was thinking the Earth was flat......

[mattblack77nz]

They fixed it in post...

[rhfixer]

Interesting, wonderful.

[BedededeII]

IS FAKE!

[ugowar]

You're FAKE.

[nazznazz2]

0:19 lol???

Stars are into the Earth O_o

[Vilshofen]

Its noise, not stars....

[BedededeII]

is fake all.

[brian1010101]

So for a second, the earth completely vanished.

[GiveTheWorld1]

That is incorrect. The Earth appears to vanish, but what actually happens is the Earth passes between the sun and the Echo Star 11 satellite. The only reason it disappears is because there is no light from the sun for the camera to detect .

[brian1010101]

yeah but you can see stars in the background. Unless thats just some stuff on the lens. or that white stuff you often see in star trek

[skribbzo]

@GiveTheWorld1 you are very smart

[pilotoverde]

shes beautiful!

[tinkafoo]

The lens flare makes the earth look like a freakin eyeball!

[wolfishblue79]

I know freaky right?! I said in a post like human eye but if you look close looks like alien eye. green around outside, pupil is cat like. Fun illusion!

[elgransony2]

bakan

[pabloarroyo06]

wauu, is cool...

where is the satellite?

increible

[GiveTheWorld1]

The satellite is located at 0° Latitude and 110° Latitude maintaining an altitude of 22,231 miles/35,777 km and 22,243 miles/35,796 km. The satellite stays in the same Geo-Synchronous position throughout its service

[FoolyCooly1]

Earth is so cute!

[danotrilogic]

no stars, only noise in the CCD sensor.

[pewpewaliens]

You can see the moon in the last few seconds. It's really small!

[dstrdm]

it's really far :-)

[MondoViejuno]

Cool!

[01DOGG01]

I liek how the moon shoots past at 0:45

And those stars seem fake. How can the earth and sun be see-through...

[aberrate]

I don't think they're stars, I think they're just camera artifacts - they're not there when the camera's not being blinded by the sun.

[01DOGG01]

Strange how it comes in at 0:26

Yeah i guess it could be noise but why is it static? Doesn't move about or anything, only appears in those same spots.

[Elpezquecamina]

Maybe the water of the oceans is acting like a mirror, reflectin the light from the stars thar are behind the satellite

[01DOGG01]

Haha nice theory but impossible.

I'd say it's fried sensors in those particular regions then, rather than camera noise.

[aphxtwn]

i agree. most circuits are hardened to allow it high energy particles to go through, but it looks like the CCD/CMOS sensor is slowly going bad.

[GiveTheWorld1]

That is correct, they are just camera artifacts.

[lincoln720]

Actually, when you think about it, If the earth were bending the light to appear invisible, why then can we only see the stars when the sun is directly behind the earth and not in the other frames? I call background noise.

[rahyphensun]

OMG ITS FULL OF STARS

[TheREALSisko]

Yore ma's ma

[heroineworshipper]

Nobody knew TV satellites had cameras until today. What else do TV companies put cameras into?

[wetnmild]

i like how i can see stars for one second through earth and then you cant see any at all, bs bs bs

[Lucifuge]

That's an actual, natural occurrence that happens. Something about light refracting off of the surface or something or another. You can research it, but it's definitely not fake.

[rgbman]

Those aren't stars... that's noise in the CCD camera. Turn the ISO up on your digital camera and take a picture in the dark. Same thing.

[sgthaloz]

it's real dumbass

[corbyz]

Why are you so lame, that you disabled embedding of the video? Now we can't share this video with others via facebook, myspace, or orkut. Geez.

[TiredMired]

This is channel 212 on Dish Network.

It's not fake... All you have to do is type

"Dish Earth" in the search box for news about it.

[Jigore]

The amount or idiocy in these comments make me lose faith in humanity.

[ugowar]

I lost faith a long time ago. For some reason I keep getting reminded of the movie Idiocracy.

[abitpotty]

Dead pixel effect. Try taking a long exposure on a tripod with a digital camera of a dark clear night sky and you will find the same effect.

[MIKEREZIN]

this is real . i have dish network and this is one of the channels. its live footage with like oldies playing in the background.and its on 24/7

[Samsamsameo]

Looks real to me

[fereadi]

Lame video, for at least "10 hours" the clouds seemed to be static :)

[Horsku]

You know clouds dont move that much in 10hours..

[fereadi]

sory, my bad, watched it agani carefully

[soliosMedia]

hmm where all the satellites go?...Btw i know this is totaly Fake but shouldnt he be more carefull?

[ghujkkn]

O_o does the air around the earth act like a mirror O_o?. And..that moon seems to be going way to fast to me :p/

[jigga28]

this is not even real. you people are nuts.

00:17-00:20 like someone said, it would be a black void where earth is--instead there are what appear to be stars--Fake! it isn't awesome, it's lame.

[ugowar]

You're lame. Go learn about hot pixels on CCD sensors in cameras before making dumbass comments like that.

[snorreproductions]

Awesome!

[Rallscrawls]

so, did anyone else just see 0:18 ...?

weird huh

[demonchick00]

That was awesome great Video...

[h0tie]

At 0:20 how is that possible?

[freakman420]

well i can explain that to you only if there was a black hole between the sun and earth. but since there isnt (as far as i know) i have no clue.

[cuppatea12]

if you look carefuly, you can see the moon :0

[xn4jv3]

"That's no moon, it's a space station!"

If we had only listened and given the stolen plans back to Darth Vader, they would never have come here.

[manafxxsenikteb]

Wow That's actually really pretty. LOL XD

[BOYKOILIEV2008]

Mexico earthquake has been predicted with 1 day mistake. The next earthquakes in Romania there will be on the 3th and 16th of May 2009.

[sketchmeister]

Beware the 3th of May!

[GangBoxer]

why??

[sketchmeister]

Because of the impending earthquake mentioned by the commenter I replied to. Oopsy, looks like he was wrong. Didn't see that coming, haha.

[britoca]

I <3 Earth

[moqutpar]

0:19  how in the hell? stars thru the earth?...lol

[SilentHill978]

Earth is mainly made up of gases, hence, you are able to see through. Correct me if I'm wrong

[Supernova310]

real question?

[GodKillerAtheist]

wrong but technically atoms are not solid objects

[SilentHill978]

K. Thanks

[cuppatea12]

The only way to see through it is if you can see round it. like gravity bending light.

[freakman420]

i think its the ozone bending the light. far as i know only a black hole's gravity can bend light. just a theory.

[jleemaster11]

Anything with mass can bend light. Although, it can only be noticed around sufficiently massive objects such as stars or galaxies.

[Supernova310]

thats stuff in the camera

[manafxxsenikteb]

Yeah that doesn't really make any sense does it?

[manafxxsenikteb]

I meant that you shouldn't be able to see through the earth just cuz something covered it or whatever. This is really mind boggling! roflmao

[jleemaster11]

It's just a "noise" artifact of hot pixels of the ccd in the camera.

[Revigoe7]

Because the clouds do not move...

[impsick]

they did move

[manafxxsenikteb]

Yeah at first I thought the clouds weren't moving too but then I looked even harder and I'm not sure but I think they DID move. Not sure though.
