hey frank if you really want to know...at night go out somewhere where theres no lights and have someone in your car turn on its lights while you are on the ground and then tell me if you can still see the stars.....dumbass

@frank0071969 You can go to the NASA website and find out when the station and or shuttle will fly over where you are. Ive seen it fly over before but you have to know where to look. Try looking through some binoculars too. t really is a cool thing to see! Good luck! :-)

360p is NOT high definition... not even close.

Sun is visible, therefore no stars. Plus, sunlight reflecting off of the earth.

[frank0071969]

why no stars in the background looks blacked out intentionally

Very roughly - just over 1 hour

The shuttle gets a day cycle every 90 mins

you can tell by the suns position and the shadows

speed 24,000 kph east

sun rise and set every 90 mins

"" Nasa human spaceflight"website has lots of info and a real time tracker of shuttle and station.
