Star trail exposure from the ISS, marked by the thick white path of the Moon, Starlink satellites flashing far right, golden city lights streaking across Earth, and arcing stars in the background. Taken during Expedition 72.

  2. Fascinating. Space views never gets boring, always something to look for, thanks for sharing this with the community.

  3. images like these are so cool, and its kind of sad that so many people on other platforms will just assume it’s AI

  4. This looks like a screenshot from Interstellar. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing with us earthlings.

    Absolutely stunning. Curious, do you happen to know roughly how far those Starlink satellites were from the ISS in this shot? I wonder if they ever feel intrusive or, in a strange way, comforting, like a reminder you’re not entirely alone up there.

    This looks like something straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Awesome shot!
