These awesome long exposure photographs were taken by astronaut Don Pettit from onboard the Worldwide Area Place during Trip 31.
As the ISS groups World at approximately 17,000 mph, Journey Professional Don Pettit takes 30-second exposures with a stock photographic digital camera, then loads those exposures into single supports which makes 10-15 minutes of exposure. The spinning is fast enough for lengthy exposures to cloud the world into shiny pieces of light, as well as taking celebrity paths, aurora, and quick flashes of turbo splattered all across the top area of the World.
