My first thought? That's *really* noisy 🧐
But then I realised – it's the *nightside* of Earth, illuminated by the almost full Moon, not the Sun
The bright limb at lower-right is where the dayside starts, & the fact that you can see aurorae, airglow, & cities in Europe, Africa, & S & N America also gives the game away.
Cool.
@markmccaughrean I also caught that! Cameras have gotten a HELL of a lot better.

@sysadmin1138 And the D5 is one of the very best cameras around if you feel the need to set the ISO to 51200
It’s famously *not* ISO invariant, & remains pretty clean up to ridiculous settings. -

There's a collection of lights off-center up & to the right. Is that a reflection?

@darth_hideout My guess is a reflection off the window, some light inside Orion. Doesn’t look like the Moon reflecting off the Atlantic – too sharp & bright.

@markmccaughrean how much of the ”noise” is satelites?
@whangdoodler @markmccaughrean none, that’s just shot noise.

Just ran across this in my photos from a recent #StarTrek conversation. In the original cut of "Miri," which featured a rare exact Earth duplicate, a simple globe without annotations was used to convey the point. This was before the 1st Moon landing. I would guess the audience at the time was unused to seeing the Earth from space. Later remasters added clouds. Remarkable how banal the view has become.

I was shocked that you could see stars.
Most of the time with daylight images of Earth, it's too bright to see stars.
Unlike others I was guessing the point light source are stars.

@markmccaughrean I wonder what this is, just above and to the right of the center. A reflection of the moon in the sea?

@edgeofeurope @markmccaughrean Reflection on the inside of the window through which the picture was made?
