0.56 seconds and it's over - ISS Lunar Transit in 4K

[@pauldayton3599]

Absolutely blew me away... The detail!!

[@susannebach1275]

Absolutely incredible movie and pictures 👍👍👍

[@armieg.1575]

😮wow that was amazing shoot. Really fast

What do you use to know when the ISS will cross the moon at your location?

[@silience4095]

google ISS transit finder

Guess I am blind as a bat... didn't see anything after several replays...

[@overjoyedbrass]

you are troll or dumb, not blind, video literally tracks the movement of iss zoomed in

[@atheistangel007]

Science, for the win.

[@seancripps4897]

You would never see the ISS if it was REALLY 400KM .away. A passenger airplane looks like a similar tiny dot at only 10km high. It doesnt take very advanced math to figure it out

[@yahtheahmed2236]

we can use high school trigonometry to figure out the angular size of the ISS in the night sky. The ISS is approximately 100 metres in length and orbits at 400km (400000 metres) from sea level. if you make two straight lines from the edge of the iss towards one point on the ground, you get a right angle triangle so if we use inverse tan, we can find out how large the iss appears in degrees in the sky tan^-1(opposite/adjacent) = tan^-1(100/400000) = 0.014 degrees the moon is around 0.5 degrees across so the iss appears around 3 percent the width of the full moon, which looks about right.

[@myronbuck2436]

@@yahtheahmed2236 Youre another math person....how is it that the ISS transits the moon on 0.5 seconds? The moon has a width of 0.5 degrees...that implies the ISS can circle the earth in 360 seconds (1 degree per second), but it actually takes 5400 seconds (90 minutes). That means it should take 7.5 minutes to transit the moon.

[@myronbuck2436]

No, not a flat-earther, and I'm good with math. But the math doesn't seem to make sense...try to explain it.

yeah how about you go ACTUALLY WATCH IT YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN EYES AND A 5 DOLLAR WALMART TELESCOPE

[@hypanusamericanus9058]

@@petterlarsson7257 You don't even need a telescope. The ISS can be seen with the naked eye.

[@yahtheahmed2236]

@@petterlarsson7257 as someone who does astrophotography, please dont get a 5 dollar walmart telescope, these are called 'hobby killers' because they are notorious for not working and made of cheap shitty materials. Instead, get binoculars, a small tabletop dobsonian, or a large 6-8 inch dobsonian telescope. anyways thats besides the topic of the discussion

This is fake.

Try it yourself then! There are so many transit calculators. Try it, it's fun.

[@silience4095]

@@ZackWolfMusic Don't call it bullshit till you try it. I've seen a transit with my own eyes, and I'm about to see another one in a few days.

[@silience4095]

@@ZackWolfMusic The attitude of denying everything without concrete proof will not get you anywhere. That mentality is extremely bad, and will only lead you to believe completely false statements. Please stop spreading misinformation on the internet, I actually hate it so much. Do more research, and truly understand what you're looking at before making uninformed assumptions about the reality of our world. ¡
