So I guess dashboard cams are a big thing in Russia, most of the video of the meteor seems to be dashboard cams, and many of those crazy accident videos are from Russia.

Must be a fad, the Russian woman that runs our stockroom says people over there go crazy for whatever is the current fad, way worse than here in the USA.

Tight dress on that woman. Or enormous buttcrack.  Or both?

I'll go with the third option.

8 Minutes of the Earth’s Rotation

How I wish our planet’s movement was this apparent while staring at the night sky. It could probably make a lot more people realize just how tiny we are compared to this vast unexplored galaxy above our heads.

This is a stack of 70 pictures with a 5 second exposure each at ISO 3200 and f/2.2.

I see they caught a satellite, pretty common actually, can't count how many images I've taken that have streaks in them from satellites, can always tell the spy satellites since they are in perfect north south orbits (so they can cover the entire world as it rotates).   I guess now there are a few private commercial imaging ones in the same type of orbit, but most are spy satellites from various countries.

Edit:  Took a while to figure out where in the sky that is, thought it was a wider view but it looks like it's not even the entire constellation of Orion.  On it's side (obviously since the stars are moving top to bottom), north to the left, Orion nebula on the right side.  So that satellite is in an orbit similar to the ISS or Hubble.
