Earth view from spinning Space Shuttle, HD

This video was shot out Endeavour's right two windows after undocking during a series of orbital maneuvers. A large micro meteorite orbital debris (MMOD) pit is visible in the right most window. The KU-band antenna tracking TDRS can also be seen through the right window. One image taken every 15 seconds and played back at 5 frames per image

@ceilingcatiswatching If you start watching from the start of the video it is like getting into that shape, and transforming. Maybe it could be a part of this craft that recorded the video. And about the other object, you can see from the start that it's something that's on the surface of the glass from which it records a video, like a stain.

That other thing could be something but I doubt it, I think it's a part of this thing which recorded it all.

@cantorock yea i mean corona im tired... the cameras cant see stars as there not calibrated for it i got a camera which doesnt show starts much like if you look at the moon you cant see stars right next to it (very close to it) as the moon lets of light its the same with the sun and the same with planets with an atmosphere

[cantorock]

@kirza94 I think you mean corona, right? I'm not sure what that has to do with not seeing the stars, though. My original thoughts were that the brightness of any other objects within the line of sight of the camera would mean that the camera exposure would have to be shorter, so the stars would disappear as they are too dim. By looking away from the sun or any lit objects, you and the camera should be able to see stars, right?

@kirza94 Please tell me more, kirza. I'm very interested

[kirza94]

@cantorock still doesnt work like that think of the cornear on the sun
