If you are curious...

This is actually the incorrect way to write that equation.

2020-03-06 19:03:29 UTC  

It ends up being non-functioning in more than one way, due to how it is written.

Here's a more accurate process.

2020-03-06 19:04:41 UTC  

For two elevated objects, at least.

2020-03-06 19:05:22 UTC  

d is not precisely the same as a value of I, for example.

2020-03-06 19:06:27 UTC  

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?

2020-03-06 19:45:23 UTC  

ah too much cgi work

2020-03-06 20:10:31 UTC  

Because you'd blow out the surface of the earth. Can't have it both ways, unfortunately.

2020-03-06 20:10:53 UTC  

earth is flat

2020-03-06 20:30:35 UTC  

@Saturn given that formuli you wish to use wheres the Geometric Horizon at one foot/30cms observer height then?

2020-03-06 21:46:38 UTC  

@Drewski4343 but they could have another camera

2020-03-06 22:06:02 UTC  

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.

2020-03-06 23:04:07 UTC  

Yes

2020-03-06 23:04:08 UTC  

@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.

2020-03-06 23:04:30 UTC  

I bet folks would find the stars as interesting and beautiful as Earth

2020-03-06 23:04:53 UTC  

doesn't pass the sniff test

2020-03-06 23:05:22 UTC  

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.

2020-03-06 23:07:41 UTC  

2nd camera

2020-03-06 23:07:52 UTC  

🙄

2020-03-06 23:08:00 UTC  

on the other side of the ISS

2020-03-06 23:08:12 UTC  

you could have 20 cameras

2020-03-06 23:08:16 UTC  

50

2020-03-06 23:08:22 UTC  

I have 2 in my smart phone

2020-03-06 23:08:57 UTC  

why we never see stars from NASA

2020-03-06 23:08:59 UTC  

like ever.

2020-03-06 23:09:01 UTC  

esp on the ISS

2020-03-06 23:09:13 UTC  

there's always an excuse

2020-03-06 23:09:24 UTC  

they could have TONS of cameras - I don't know. But you can only take one shot at a time with one exposure setting. I'm saying you can't have the both stars and the surface of the earth exposed in one video.

2020-03-06 23:09:46 UTC  

nobody said you need both in the same shot

2020-03-06 23:10:01 UTC  

ok, then I'm not sure what we're arguing haha

2020-03-06 23:10:06 UTC  

you could take shots of the stars from the lunar surface. just need a second camera set up accordingly

2020-03-06 23:10:16 UTC  

but instead of doing that, they brought golf clubs?
