【January 28 2016】Long-exposure photography can show blurred movement of physical objects and light, producing a stylized and often a more artistic result than simply pointing and shooting the camera. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took multiple long exposures of Earth, which were then layered over each other to create this composite image. The bright flashes seen dotting the atmosphere are lightning. Satellites flying below the ISS provide the long streaking lines. And in the dark sky beyond, stars leave trails through the void as their changing positions are captured by the camera’s open shutter.Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
