Per my other comment: Earth isn't attached to the sun, the sun isn't attached to the galactic center (they are orbiting). They are independent rotational frames of reference. They are also gyroscopes in their own right.
As far as taking pictures of other things on Earth, at least. Taking a picture of another planet/star/galaxy would also face similar challenges.
- thrdbndndn 2y agoWhat's the difference between our "attachment" to Earth compared to Earth's attachment to the Sun? Aren't both doing circular motion due to gravity (in us-Earth's case, gravity + support force from the ground) and inertia?
- zamalek 2y agoThe Earth is in freefall above the sun. We are not in freefall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall
