While rotation spoils an inertial reference frame, this certainly could be a representation of the view of the earth while from a typical (i.e. easterly) orbit.

While rotation spoils an inertial reference frame, this certainly could be a representation of the view of the earth while from a typical (i.e. easterly) orbit. Short of adding an ASCII accelerometer or the like, there's no test you can do on it to demonstrate otherwise. The GP doesn't deserve downvotes any more than the other glib replies above.
