Star field views through the window of Dragon

    Milky Way views through the window of Dragon. City lights streak below, and distant satellites flash marks across the exposure while stars remain fixed thanks to my homemade tracker. The result is a contrast of activity between Earth and the stillness of deep space. Time exposure taken with Nikon Z9 on Expedition 72 to the ISS.

    More photos from space can be found on my twitter and Instagram, astro_pettit

    The Southern Cross (Crux) tucked in next to the Coal Sack nebula. Centaurus just down from that.

    The flashes are storms/lightnings in the clouds?

    Does the human eye see this majesty of stars or is this a longer exposure the only way to know all this is out there from that window?
