Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy my decision to come back every Sunday to share some of my favorite space-related images that I have acquired over the past few months! This image was taken on April 16th of this year during a relatively high angle and magnitude ISS pass. I started my exposure and then ran into the frame to sit still while my camera was set in bulb mode. When the ISS left the frame (or so I thought), I ran back to my camera and ended the exposure. This is what causes my body to look slightly transparent in the photo. I am a 19 year old photographer living on the Space Coast of Florida, and I am currently taking and uploading images like this every day as part of a 365 day photo challenge. If you would like to see all of my work in one place, that can be found on my Instagram @marcuscote_photo. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer them below!

I hate to be the one to break it to you but I think you're a ghost mate

Can someone explain why it looks like the stars (I mean earth) moves in different directions. Shouldn't they all follow the same path from earths rotation?
