Perspective
    #15161885 - 10/01/11 10:35 AM (12 years, 4 months ago)

What kind of perspective does this give on where we are?



For those who don't know this is recent time-lapse footage from the International Space Station (ISS).

It gives me a much wider sense to where I am than my everyday life. :lol: That was a pretty cool video.

Just watching a rock fly through the Universe with stuff happening on it.

Yeah it's still an earth centric perspective but you get a different sense of it with the perspective starting from space and looking at the earth rather than from the earth looking towards space. The closeness is a nice touch because you get to see familiar details from everyday life -- city lights, lightening, the shapes of clouds, etc. It was a mindfuck for me and I liked it.

When I'm lying on my back looking at the stars, I enjoy trying to forget which way "down" is. 
For instance, I'll pretend my feet are facing "down" towards the horizon and look at the stars as if my back is glued to the earth.  After all, in space all directions are relative.  It really gives me a fun feeling of the flotation of giant masses...epic.


Illustration for as to hayve clearance:

"Wow! The stars aren't UP THERE, they're OVER THERE!"

Cool video.  :thumbup:

What are the blinking white dots in the clouds?

Yeah they were! :lol:

The lightening was one of the coolest parts of the video in my opinion.
