Long exposure shooting star

NeilFraser · 2012-10-22T23:33:07+00:00

It's the Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-130), photographed by James Vernacotola. Source.

Next time you want to mis-represent a photograph, try not to choose an award-winning image.

stakkar · 2012-10-22T23:22:47+00:00

That's not a shooting star, that's a spacecraft launch.

We could really use a wish right now

I both love and hate logging in just to down-vote a repost with an erroneous title.

Shooting star? Common sense should tell you that this definitely is not a star. But you should check out /r/exposureporn for all long exposure shots

HAsash · 2012-10-23T00:02:06+00:00

why didnt you just assume it was a unicorn fart?

TrollingFaggots · 2012-10-23T02:44:37+00:00

OP is a cock sucker.

DadsGettingDumped · 2012-10-23T01:46:19+00:00

Space shuttle launch, not a shooting star.

ShuggaCheez · 2012-10-23T00:36:06+00:00

How the fuck could this possibly be a shooting star? It's the Endeavor Space Shuttle launch. My god...

costollie · 2012-10-23T00:59:07+00:00

long exposure of a repost

Tilt your head.... It looks like cameltoe

Kruse · 2012-10-23T01:17:38+00:00

You mean a shooting space shuttle?

Steve_J0bs · 2012-10-23T00:26:28+00:00

Can somebody please tell me what the dot in place of the vote count means? wtf

Asliceofpizza · 2012-10-23T02:30:05+00:00

Dumbass

Freis · 2012-10-23T02:40:17+00:00

OP is a faggot.

comefirewaterkarma · 2012-10-23T00:36:04+00:00

It looks like a fish!

that_guy183 · 2012-10-23T00:38:24+00:00

I was going to say how excellent this was, but the I read the comments

alhart89 · 2012-10-23T00:46:48+00:00

I'd like to think of it as Master Chief upon re-entry

OrangeMonkeyee · 2012-10-23T00:53:16+00:00

I don't have a picture, but with the meteor shower the other night I saw a few decent ones burn up. Although I saw what looked like a pair of round grey things hauling ass zip across the sky I still don't know what it was. I'm use to seeing meteors burn up and still see the dark spot cover stars as it goes across the sky, but this was just a new experience for me. any thoughts?

acsmith93 · 2012-10-23T01:07:40+00:00

Why did I just look at that while mentally adding the Dreamworks sound effect as background music?

RoyalBlue712 · 2012-10-23T01:10:04+00:00

Where was this picture taken?

bbmdc · 2012-10-23T01:24:19+00:00

Nice picture. Even if it's not a shooting star.

frankcblazik · 2012-10-23T01:24:36+00:00

Reminded me of this

diggpthoo · 2012-10-23T01:32:24+00:00

ERMAGHERDRERDERT · 2012-10-23T01:33:51+00:00

All the upvoters clearly have never seen a shooting star... and that a shooting star lasts for at most 3 seconds, and that a long exposure is anywhere from 10-30 seconds... come on reddit!

Yan_Can_Cook_Is_God · 2012-10-23T01:45:58+00:00

Busted!

I_am_Senate · 2012-10-23T01:53:55+00:00

Somehow reminds me to Aerosmith song.... rips ears off

allyourrickroll · 2012-10-23T01:57:35+00:00

I hadn't seen this picture before, so I upvoted. Read comments, the upvote stays because I like the picture, but in my mind I downvoted it so it's okay.

anton645 · 2012-10-23T01:59:09+00:00

Now I can make as many wishes as I want!

jonnyo913 · 2012-10-23T01:59:11+00:00

Mass effect anyone?

Soss · 2012-10-23T02:01:41+00:00

Its amazing that there are this many upvotes on a clearly false representation of the picture.

Onixlee37 · 2012-10-23T02:04:32+00:00

This is one of them moments... When I wish I could catch a riiiiiiide on that star...

kurosevic · 2012-10-23T02:05:02+00:00

Nice shot, man.

TRI-SARA-TOPS · 2012-10-23T02:16:27+00:00

the second i looked at it i heard the disney music in my head. you know with the castle...i fuckin love disney.

HarryPrickering · 2012-10-23T02:19:55+00:00

Forgive me but... I thought shooting stars went pretty quick, how did you expose them for a long time?

JakexZero · 2012-10-23T02:23:53+00:00

Set this as my background 2 days ago, not sure if to be mad or happy.

Teenageanxt · 2012-10-23T02:24:01+00:00

Dude... This has been my iPod home screen for three months when it was posted last

AJ401 · 2012-10-23T02:30:54+00:00

Thats Pretty Fucking Sweet

cralldaddy4 · 2012-10-23T02:36:46+00:00

Oh my, a shooting star! I wish for up votes.

infinitesimal · 2012-10-23T02:38:02+00:00

This photo has been posted on Reddit so many times. Am I not in on some joke that says you HAVE to upvote it every time you see it?

Tridda1 · 2012-10-23T02:49:21+00:00

NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED

haddada · 2012-10-23T03:10:04+00:00

High res? I would love to get it as one of my BGs

gmick · 2012-10-23T03:29:22+00:00

You're a karma-whoring idiot, but I'm sure you're a nice person.

mrsplackpack · 2012-10-23T03:38:30+00:00

1/10 reposts make it to the front page i guess

Tstr76 · 2012-10-23T03:55:01+00:00

How the fuck could you do a long exposure shot of something that's visible for less than a second?

anzl · 2012-10-23T04:17:49+00:00

Was this used as album artwork for Yellowcard eons ago?

scudmonger · 2012-10-23T04:18:19+00:00

Its shit like this reddit: Not only is it a repost but it is a horrible misrepresentation of what it is.

SoAwkward_ · 2012-10-23T04:19:51+00:00

I know it's been said... But shooting star... Really? Shooting star? You disgust me.

TheChief117 · 2012-10-23T04:24:31+00:00

Almost as if it is a fish of some sort with the moon as its eye.

Lookatme7 · 2012-10-23T04:30:49+00:00

Simply amazing.

darahen2004 · 2012-10-23T04:34:10+00:00

great shot

eager_badger · 2012-10-23T04:58:47+00:00

They're coming...

Sage_ · 2012-10-23T05:21:29+00:00

Thanks for uploading this hilariously mislabeled picture in stunningly low resolution for us

tinlo · 2012-10-23T05:26:42+00:00

Don't let Neil deGrasse Tyson see how many idiots have upvoted this.

bloonacho · 2012-10-23T06:36:09+00:00

No such thing as a shooting star.

Citisol · 2012-10-23T01:26:56+00:00

As a Floridian: Not sure if shooting star, or space shuttle...

dunnowins · 2012-10-23T00:06:52+00:00

what kind of shooting star gets brighter as it gets closer to the ground?

JSteamedham · 2012-10-22T23:44:01+00:00

How exactly does one catch a long exposure of what should be a fleeting moment?

MrPDubz · 2012-10-23T00:58:35+00:00

I love how it looks like its landing in the water.

MajorLazy · 2012-10-23T01:18:55+00:00

If I have learned anything on reddit that is a time-lapse.

tamifromcali · 2012-10-23T01:36:57+00:00

Wow, what an awesome picture!

GasManBob · 2012-10-23T01:53:18+00:00

Wish I could give more than one upvote.

always3lefts · 2012-10-23T01:56:52+00:00

This is one of the greatest photographs I have ever seen.

xsited1 · 2012-10-23T04:30:30+00:00

Some people say that's a picture of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, but since that's in LA's California Science Center I know you must be telling the truth. ;)

tomsfoolery · 2012-10-23T00:16:34+00:00

thats not just any shuttle launch pic, thats my friends shuttle launch pic from florida

zulubowie · 2012-10-23T01:25:54+00:00

Awesome photo and remember it's a meteorite, not a shooting star.

Psi_Corps · 2012-10-23T01:05:58+00:00

EPIC pic!

nihilistninja · 2012-10-22T23:13:14+00:00

That is really cool!

Rhystatic · 2012-10-22T23:29:25+00:00

Don't toy with my emotions. I swear to god if this is photoshopped. Otherwise, stunning!

Payne4 · 2012-10-22T23:31:34+00:00

It looks like a meteorite entering Earth's atmosphere.

ohwhathasthiscometo · 2012-10-22T23:14:57+00:00

Looks amazing. Link to good quality?
