JFC, almost looks like a still from 2012 or the Day after Tomorrow.

... Roland Emmerich must be working on the final entry in his trilogy.

Trilogy!? There's a second one?

We're the ones that seeded and birthed it.

Thank you.

That helped me find a non-Twitter link: https://www.sen.com/video/570871d0-340c-475e-af31-26115ff6ed83

But I bet there’s an actual original source somewhere.

Sen is the original source. They sent 4K cameras up to the ISS earlier this year, and they’ve been capturing some amazing shots.

Interesting. How did they work out that deal?

To quote Red Dwarf:

"All hands on deck, swirly thing alert!"

"Red alert!"

"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

A rare Red Dwarf quote in the wild.

You are an individual of quality.

Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It does, you can capture it with any halfway decent camera so long as it’s backlit by the sun and it’s dark out (and your timing is perfect)

It's only about 250 miles (400 km) high

Buckle up, Bible Belt. It's going to be wild.

God is mad at them for being so mean to their trans neighbors. It's the only explanation.

Nah, that's our collective karma for not caring for our habitat.

Meanwhile, Republicans trying to find the climate change:

They're actually still trying to find the curve.

Here's hoping it wipes out Mar A Lago. So the dipshit can get his lackies to push relief fund to people who need it and not to Ron I am A Cocksucker Desantis.

This would be even cooler with a whole days worth of fly-bys showing the progression of size.

Mother Nature is going to fuck up the Florida Oblast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Oh boy, that looks big. I'm glad I'm really far away from that and good luck to anyone who isn't as lucky as me, seriously.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.

That hurricane is some galactic level catastrophy boss level destruction about to happen... Lots of people are going to die. Godspeed to those hunkering down.

I hope everyone in the path of this beast survives.

How did they make the earth look like a sphere?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Take THAT flat-earthers!

No, wait...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

This is clearly the round earth, they are on the other one

With everything going wrong in the world today, I still live in child-like awe of photos from or of Space.

I'm grateful that I live in an age where I've seen photos from orbit become more and more high resolution. As scary as that hurricane looks, the fidelity of it looks absolutely beautiful.
