I can’t fathom such a surreal experience. Wonderful photo. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Star trail photography at orbital speeds produces surreal imagery of space phenomena. City lights, background stars, lightning spots and flashing satellites are recorded across the time history with striking results.

Don- your photography is amazing and you’re doing a great service by taking something so foreign and unfathomable to almost the entirety of humanity and making it approachable and beautiful. Turning the unknown into the universal language of art. Thank you.

Amazing image from a seasoned shutter bug. Cyberpunk vibes…

Looks like a lot of trash in space.

Cool photo. Sad that the pristine skies even from orbit are screwed up by Starlink. Enjoy it while we can, it’s turning into an orbital garbage dump.

Amazing image! So much stuff up there…

What are the light trails that appear to be beneath you? The satellites are the trails running from the top of frame correct?
Edit: where are the light trails? City? What country?

How long before all of the starlink orbits decay and fall into the atmosphere?

If they crash together we will not go to the moon.

What are we doing 🤦🏽♂️ the faster they rise the quicker they fall

I hate what Elon has been allowed to do up there to ruin astronomy.

Meanwhile we could install fiber lines to rural areas that would last 100+ years but nah let’s put a bunch of trash in space

You called these Star trails in another post. Is this both or originally mislabeled? It’s phenomenal regardless, but that confuses me.

You are honestly incredible. I know there’s a lot of important science going on inside the ISS, but I love that your photography makes it so easy to immerse myself into it. You take photos that are relevant, easy to understand, timely, and topical. These are photos that show the drastic changes in space up until to this point, but also serve as an important marker in time, whereas someone repeating this in 10, 20, 50, or 100 years will end up with a wildly different view.

Was this ironically taken inside a dragon capsule? The windows look like the Dragon

How many starlink satellites are we at now? Right around 10,000
