International Space Station Live

I never realised until recently the International Space Station does constant live video streaming.

Facinating at times as you can watch some of the experiments being undertaken onboard.

I only came across it a few days ago as a story came out that NASA filmed 2 objects leaving the surface of the earth which have been unexplained and at the time the cameras were suddenly shut down :?

Of course there are times when you can't see much when its in the dark zone.

Its just shows what a beautiful planet we have.

Question I have for any Astronomers out there and that is why can't you see any other twinkling stars or planets from the space station cameras and yet you can from earth? :?

Haven't looked at the link yet, but I do know stars only 'twinkle' because of our atmosphere - in space they look like constant points of light.

Its the dust and particles inside our own atmosphere that makes them twinkle.

Thanks for the replies, I get the twinkling part but wandered why you don't see any stars at all.

I think its to do with the fact that the earth is so very bright. Like you don't see stars during the day.
