Photo Taken From The ISS Visualizes How Fast The Space Station Moves - PetaPixel

Testing a method he has been experimenting with, Pesquet uses a 30-second exposure while focusing on the space station with the night sky of planet earth streaking by in the background.

As noted by Digital Trends, NASA has set up a notification system that will notify interested parties to when the International Space Station is traveling over their neighborhood, allowing them to spot the ISS with their own eyes as it streaks rapidly across the sky on a clear night or early morning.

European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet has been capturing and sharing a lot of images of Earth and other astronomical photos since arriving at the International Space Station, but this latest image is the first in a new series Pesquet is currently focusing his efforts.

The photo project involves capturing images that attempt to display the incredibly high-speeds that the space station orbits the Earth.
