Part 5/10:
Addressing the Debate on CGI and Models
Critics suggest that the images and videos are CGI or models, but the speaker systematically refutes this:
Lens and Focus Details: The images are shot with wide-angle lenses focused at a specific distance (around four meters), with a sharp depth of field capturing the window frame and Earth's surface with clarity.
Reflection Evidence: A reflection of the camera lens can be seen in the ISS window, indicating the presence of a physical camera setup capturing real images.
Lighting and Shadows: The lighting on the station and Earth corresponds to natural sunlight and shadows consistent with real-world physics. The gradual transition of sunrise shadows on Earth's surface aligns with the ISS’s orbit and the position of the sun.
