    Star trail photography at orbital speeds produces surreal imagery of space phenomena. City lights, background stars, lightning spots and flashing satellites are recorded across the time history with striking results.

    more orbital star trail photography can be seen on my [twitter](https://x.com/astro_Pettit) and instagram, astro_pettit

    Don- your photography is amazing and you’re doing a great service by taking something so foreign and unfathomable to almost the entirety of humanity and making it approachable and beautiful. Turning the unknown into the universal language of art. Thank you.

    Boy, I’m glad this one is in focus!

    But for real, this is a spectacular photo! As always.

  6. Cool photo. Sad that the pristine skies even from orbit are screwed up by Starlink. Enjoy it while we can, it’s turning into an orbital garbage dump.
