This a photo courtesy of NASA's live feed.?

Question

Do you see the small white or gray thing slightly right above the Earth but slightly left of center? Can someone tell me what they think that might be?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

I do see a gray blob slightly to the RIGHT of center.

To me, it looks like some condensation on or some imperfection in the camera lens or the window through which the photo was taken. Neither one of those is a telescope mirror, so the optical standards for the finished product would be significantly lower than the standard for a telescope mirror, and imperfections for both could be tolerated.

  the reason I asked is because whatever it was moved. It came closer into focus then disappeared. I thought maybe it was part of a space station or possibly a satellite. But I'll go with camera issue. Thanks
  

Answer 2

The Moon lit up by Earthshine

Either that or the Bionic Barf bunnies in their Intergalactic Trash Trucks on a run

Answer 3

Photoshopped nonsense

Answer 4

Looks like a lens flare...

Answer 5

while not visible on your post, I often follow that NASA feed, and from experience think it probably a reflection. Extremely rare for the feed to pick up anything else

Answer 6

You'll have to post a link to the full size photo. Whatever it is, it is not visible in the low res picture.

Answer 7

I can't see anything either.

Answer 8

Can't see it.

Picture is too small.

Answer 9

Methinks it is a reflection off the atmosphere - but the resolution is not great enough.

Answer 10

Photo is way too small to notice anything left of center.
