That thing just books across the skyline. I get a text from NASA when we can see it in our area. Sometimes multiple times in an evening. Goes horizon to horizon in +/- 6 minutes normally. Just looks like a small star but it’s just trucking!
@tohar1 I just saw on NASA website…"The station travels at 17,500 miles per hour, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes and traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets per day. "
Beware some of these “live” ISS feeds on facebook or youtube. They can’t be trusted. That one even mentions in the description it’s a mix of live and pre-recorded video.
@medz thanks. Even though it might not of been truly live, it’s still neat. The fact that we can stream space stuff is awesome. I remember watching several videos from the ISS of Chris (the Canadian) showing stuff about every day things in the SS, such as, how he prepared his meals, or washed up.
@caffeine_dude if you poke around, you can actually see both astronauts working on something with a view taken from a static camera. They occasionally turn the cameras onto their faces as well.
@RiotDemon
Thx
@RiotDemon Pretty cool!
