Seems unbelievable but absolutely true. The camera of an amateur, "captured" an image which the words are difficult to describe.
A clear sky, an camera, a tripod, the light from the ... neighbor's living room and a little patience. These needed the amateur photographer Andrew Brooks to photograph the Earth's rotation! Everything else, did the gravity.
The photograph published by the Telegraph newspaper and was shot in the city Denial Bay, a fishing village on the edge of Long Bay, Australia.

Brooke has used the rotation of the Earth to reach the desired result. It took 36 minutes for each photo, but left the camera shutter open for 18 minutes.
"I went out a night and fascinated by how clear was the sky. I set up the camera and came back into the house, I made a cup of tea and sat down to see football, I needed patience. When I went back to the camera I was awestruck with what I have captured. It was an impressive picture, "said the 42 year-old man in the Daily Telegraph.
The nearest town is about 800 km, which means that the sky is not affected by the city lights and the stars are even more clearly in the "naked" eye.
Due to the season of the year, the position of the Earth was the most appropriate for taking such a picture.
