->> I wish I hadn't misplaced my Echostar 9 satellite, I could do a cool space time lapse like this one that Dish network did of Earth during an eclipse.

Of course they used a Echostar 11 satellite, which is just so much better than my Echostar 9. BTW, if anyone finds the satellite, it's got a label with my name on it on the bottom and address. Just return by USPS to me. Thanks. |

| ->> Well it's an eclipse in that the earth and fixed-orbit satellite rotated once, putting the earth between the sun and the satellite, but not really an eclipse in the natural astronomical sense. Still, a cool shot. |

| ->> OK, all you astro-people -- what was the small object moving left to right across the screen (it went behind Earth, I think) near the end of the clip? |

Those are dead/hot pixels in the CCD...probably due to solar radiation... |

->> or is it possible a shot done on a stage in Arizona like the moon landings?
Could it be proof of Einsteins theory that gravity bends light? Oh the possibilities. |
