Thanks for the ... ( 2 months ago by manwithnobeard)
Thanks for the response, i do understand what LunarTuner and yourself are saying, it does seem to make sense but on the other hand i somehow still don't feel convinced, please don't take offense. Have a look at this video > "Earth seen from Apollo 11" when the earth is zoomed out it is so small that one would imagine you would, wether the camera is focused on the earth or not, one would see stars, at least on the periphery of the focus area. Maybe I'm wrong but it does seem a bit odd!

Cloud formations on U.S. weather maps available at the NOAA from the time and date of the Apollo 11 video of Earth, match exactly, the cloud formations seen in the images of earth in the video.

I started this video (haven't even finished watching it) and I saw stars and I immediately predicted that the comments would be full of moon landing hoax assholes going "OMGOMGOMGOMG! LOOK AT TEH STARS! UR ALL SHEEPLE! LOL 9/11 TRUTH TOO!" etc. So I scrolled down and.... Lo and behold! I SEE IGNORANT PEOPLE! :O
OK, I finished the ... ( 2 months ago by thesouthparkguy)
OK, I finished the video, it was pretty awesome. One thing I noticed is that they mentioned they had the exposure on the camera adjusted. If the camera was set to be more sensitive to light when these videos were made, it stands to reason stars would be visible. But hey, I don't know anything, because I'm just a brainwashed New World Order slave. Hail to the Reptilian Brotherhood! ;)

"that aura is due to whole in polar ends" And thus the English language keeled over and died. I might consider believing you when you learn basic spelling and grammar.

I was looking at some information on Antarctica and it's really cool seeing a lot of what the scientists recommend and what the treaties say about that continent. Even cruise ship policies (what few ships are permitted there) basically revolve around "if we don't tell you you can do it, don't do it." Looking at it, it's like humanity's saying "okay, we fucked up the other six continents, but we haven't completely screwed this one over one yet. Let's keep it that way." It's really... endearing.
the washout is ... ( 2 months ago by kash1123)
the washout is caused by all the sunlight bouncing off of the moon's surface and into the Apollo 11 cameras. The lighted section of the moon can be quite bright (step outside during a cloudless full moon). Get a very dim light source and set it next to a bright light. Now take out a digital camera that can auto-attune to the lighting, point it at the bright light and see how well you can see the dim one. Same principle applies with the stars and the sun/moonlight.

Thats pretty unusual to have a Aurora in Space , they have probably mistaken it for something else because this is practically impossible !

dude, you're an idiot. The aurora occurs at the top of our atmosphere, it can be seen from space just like it can be seen from earth. The aurora is in between them both lol.

Okay guys, how ... ( 1 week ago by hamilton59840)
Okay guys, how about dispensing with the primitive polarizing argument between science and religion, and simply sit back, relax, and enjoy this fine footage of the Northern Lights display, seen from the space station.
Every now and then we have this kind of activity here in Montana and it's an amazing sight to see and perhaps get some photo or video footage of and it's even more fabulous when viewed from space.
Very nice footage of the display and I'm adding this to my favorites.
Cheers!

actually it has quite alot to do with a higher power. I t is quite amazing that simple radiation could cause such a showcase. I wonder what could be the root reason i mean the noddy griddy reason for such a magnificent display you atheist pig.
