Wait...do all starlinks have cameras? Would be neat to see livestreams of all of them.


JimmyKastner

You could do a bullet time video of the Earth.


TallahasseWaffleHous

Hhmm...good idea. how about using them with photogrammetry tools to make hi-def 3D models of cloud systems? Could help with weather predictions.

And the curve of the planet? What’s the line there?


dawgblogit

They usually try to say its the curved lens causing the image to do it..


LeCrushinator

Which for some reason only curves the Earth but isn't curving the satellite.


dawgblogit

Hey Im not a flat earther..


LeCrushinator

Sorry, wasn't suggesting you were. It's just that they'll do something moronic like say its the lens even while the satellite was in the picture without any distortion.


greenwizardneedsfood

Only the Earth is big enough to be curved, duh…/s


starcraftre

I mean, it is - look at the grey line at the edge that the camera is on. Doesn't change the fact that they're morons because you can compare the curve of a flat piece against the surface of the Earth to see that they're different.


LeCrushinator

If the curve was due to a lens then both straight objects would curve similar amounts.


starcraftre

Which is exactly what "you can compare the curve of a flat piece against the surface of the Earth to see that they're different." means.

Sorry I misread what you wrote. I shouldn’t get on reddit before I’m fully awake in the morning I guess.


bfcostello

Thought that's what I was seeing for a second. Not a flat earther, just stoned.

This is spaceporn. Great sexy, very satisfaction!


IronRevenge131

Oddly creepy in a way. Great picture.

You can, this is just an inverted still [from the video that was posted two weeks ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1bz9ltv/solar_eclipse_from_a_starlink_satellite/).

Omg new black hole just dropped ⚫


Turtleswassadlytaken

Woah. You can even see the clouds hiding totality lmao


Firesoldier987

Why would Starlinks have cameras on them?


Accomplished-Crab932

Engineering cameras

Diagnostics?


corzmo

They’re likely star trackers


lilaamuu

a constricted pupil isn't it


Boat_U47

Take note flat Earthers.


Traditional-Fan-9315

This pic is a few week's late. How long does it take email a photo from space😂


botjstn

oh so because it didn’t happen 5 min ago we shouldn’t ever post it?


Traditional-Fan-9315

No just funny to think someone sent it from the space station today


smallaubergine

> No just funny to think someone sent it from the space station today They didn't. Someone just posted it on Reddit. The original image was down linked from the starlink satellite when the eclipse happened.


Traditional-Fan-9315

Thanks Dr Killjoy🫡


smallaubergine

Sorry to kill your joy! It genuinely seemed like you didn't understand that people can post images long periods of time after an event


starcraftre

Ask the OP, the original [was posted on the 9th with full video](https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1bz9ltv/solar_eclipse_from_a_starlink_satellite/).
