There are people who hand hold telescopes with cameras attached taking pictures of satellites like the ISS. They’ll snap hundreds at a time hoping that one gets the target and comes out clear.

It’s a cool pic but calling it “exquisitely sharp “ is quite a stretch.

I was thinking how as a kids, lots of us dreamed of visiting the pyramids. Too bad it’s no longer a place I would feel safe.

Also on the n2yo.com site,

10 day predictions instead of forecast, I got the term wrong.

There is a live feed of the Earth when the ISS is in daylight.

For an even better view of the pyramids of Giza, try this link...GoogleMaps Pyramids of Giza. It is a panoramic view from the street that leads up to the pyramids...it moves to expose the entire area.
