A timelapse of Planet Earth from Electro-L, a geostationary satellite orbiting 40000km above the Earth. The satellite creates a 121 megapixel image every 30 minutes with four visible and infrared light wavelengths. The infrared light appears orange in these images, and shows vegetation.

IN REF TO POST #70--A FAKE ROTATION AND REVOLUTION AT BEST....PROBABLE?

correct me if i am wrong and out of my mind, alright?

i was under the impression as i watched in amazement, that the space craft was circling our beautiful planet and capturing those wonderful geographical divisions on earth.

but though my eyes were delighted with those captivating images but my brain was telling me that something was not quite correct and proper (or maybe it was just my senility at play?).

so, i placed my pointer at the island of ceylon (?) location and continued watching for the third time.

and what did i discover?

visitors to this site really ought to experience this yourself, OK?

(PLS GO TO POST #70, my current post here is numbered #104, K?)

and ask yourself, if you were in the space craft or plane circling around the globe, would your point of reference/fixation, like the isle of ceylon, be exactly in the same logistics, each and every time it passed the
exact location, as if the earth was fixated and not rotating at all....

and that the craft itself was also stationary, absolutely still and not swoosching thru space....?
(or was it a stationary space craft, staying absolutely motionless in space?)

correct me if my observation is incorrect, OK?

thx everyone.

What you see above is the largest true-color photograph of the night sky ever created, shot by 28-year-old amateur astrophotographer Nick Risinger using six astronomical cameras. It’s not just the view of the sky from one location, but is instead a 360-panoramic view of the sky taken by trekking 60,000 miles across the western United States and South Africa starting in March 2010. The final image is composed of 37,000 separate photographs. Check out the massive zoomable high-definition version of the photo.
