your maths said 1.9 miles
we se ten miles
its a fact XD
If you are curious...
This is actually the incorrect way to write that equation.
It ends up being non-functioning in more than one way, due to how it is written.
Here's a more accurate process.
For two elevated objects, at least.
d is not precisely the same as a value of I, for example.
More precisely, I'd recommend using the derived and more succinct form of sqrt(2Rh) + h^2
why don't they ever set the exposure where you can see the stars?
ah too much cgi work
Because you'd blow out the surface of the earth. Can't have it both ways, unfortunately.
earth is flat
@Saturn given that formuli you wish to use wheres the Geometric Horizon at one foot/30cms observer height then?
@Drewski4343 but they could have another camera
Sure, but I'm looking at it from their (supposed) point of view - they're not there to take shots of the stars. To them it doesn't matter if they're in the shots or not. They're not trying to disprove the flat earth myth of why stars can't be seen, they're just trying to make sure the surface of the earth is exposed properly.
Yes
@Drewski4343 oh come on. you have a platform supposedly outside of Earth's atmosphere....completely free of city light pollution....that should have the most epic view of the stars. and how hard can it possibly be to add another camera.
I bet folks would find the stars as interesting and beautiful as Earth
doesn't pass the sniff test
this is not a debate channel

I believe they do take video of the stars. At least I've seen NASA vids of the stars, but if the surface of the earth was included in the shot, it would either be a) totally blown out during daytime or b) be a night shot of the earth.
2nd camera
🙄
on the other side of the ISS
you could have 20 cameras
