Video'ed through a telescope:
I captured this video of the Shuttle Atlantis docked with the ISS on mission STS-117 in June 2007, just after the second solar array was deployed.

  • This was the equivalent of a 4000mm telephoto. It was automatically tracking with some fine alignment using a joystick.

  • F=m*a

  • I'm with you! I'm not sure of the ISS, but the rest is complete theory made up in the geeky,Star Treck loving, no common sense, but book smart heads of a few scientist that make this stuff up to look cool to the unrealistic non critical thinking public.

  • Every flyover is still amaz

  • fake

    

  • SPACE SERPENT!!!

  • No it wouldnt

    Eventually it would lose momentum due to the abundance of magentic fields, and the friction from colliding with the subatomic particles and darkmatter which is theorized to populate much of the emptyness of space and cause this phenomenon

    It would however take longer then your lifespan for this to happen, so long as you throw it hard enough =) But i would like to see somebody throw a baseball in space! They would also accelerate but in the opposite direction, spinning!

  • This is so boring yet so cool! I saw it today at 5:35 for about 3-4 minutes it was awesome! It caught my eye on the ride home from work and when i got home i watched it until it went under the horizon, what a sight! It looks like a star-plane haha.. no beacon lights just a star, flying like a plane.

    After that i googled space station sighting opportunities to verify it was, and sure enough it went over my town!

    Im going to watch it again tommorow it is supposed to pass over for 4 more minutes!

  • The ISS surely looked different back then.

  • Oh and if you threw a ball in space it would keep going and never stop.

  • The reason that we can see it is because of the suns light being reflected off it. This is also the reason that we can see planets, they don't produce their own light.

  • Cool! It kind of resembles the U.S.S. Enterprise. Maybe they were doing one of their back in time things, HA HA.

  • there are more than 10 people in that little white dot
