STAR TRAILS SEEN FROM LOW EARTH ORBIT




Long exposure image shows Earth lights and star trails from low Earth orbit

Astronauts on the International Space Station captured a series of incredible star trail images on Oct. 3, 2016, as they orbited at 17,500 miles per hour. The station orbits the Earth every 90 minutes, and astronauts aboard see an average of 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
