Obelix Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 No way? That long? I thought it took like less than an hour to orbit? Yes but in the time it takes to orbit, we have moved several hundred miles away from underneath it as the Earth rotates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Why did it fade out of view? Was that because of the thickness of the atmosphere (it's thinner when over head etc), or, was it moving in to the shade (earth between ISS and Sun), or something else? ---------- Post added 12-08-2013 at 23:19 ---------- Yes but in the time it takes to orbit, we have moved several hundred miles away from underneath it as the Earth rotates... Gotcha, thanks Obelix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
