A much longer sequence appears at the head of the RIN website if you've got the patience to watch it. http://www.rin.org.uk/ Sometimes the stars are rising, sometimes setting, sometimes coming sideways. The view though different windows, I suppose. I'm afraid my untrained eye is unable to spot any jumps, but I would rather like to know what the flashes are on the Earth. I've seen them before fron Britannia flying over US cities. I thought they were flashes from transport pantographs, but there do seem to be an awful lot of them. Possibly because the film is speeded up. DaveP
