Bling Bling The BS OF THE ISS (Christine) (aka In Your Face!!) - flat Earth advocate FAIL
Dear readers,
Listed below is a landmark post that debunks ALL CLAIMS made by Bling Bling The BS OF THE ISS (Christine) on her YouTube channel...
Be sure to open & read the following study...
1. International Space Station (ISS) distance, size and velocity determined from ground based parallax observations - another flat Earth talking point (no satellites in space) taken off the table - done with P900 and telescope

Sizing up the International Space Station Using the Moon
This landmark parallax study of the ISS as viewed from the Earth's surface confirms that it is real, and currently in orbit.
Experimental results conducted and presented by YouTube channels:
Astronomy Live (using Meade LX200 telescope)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80y2LP1bWH4
Reds Rhetoric (using P900 camera)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zejiHaRhI4
and Vincent (using P900 camera).
Transit occured on March 3, 2018.
Abstract:
Altitude, size and velocity of the ISS determined by transit over the Moon, as seem at 2 different surface locations simultaneously.
Both observers see the ISS at the same time, at slightly different positions in the sky, due to parallax.

ISS High Magnification Tracking - 5/17/2020, by Astronomy Live

Tracked with SatTraker:

Music: Between the Rings by Stellardrone Filmed with an 8" Meade LX200 Classic with a 2x barlow (f/20) and Canon T5i. Tracked using SatTraker. The video frames were then stabilized and stacked in a 5 frame rolling average using a custom Python script which also added the time code, altitude, azimuth and range numbers to the video based on the orbital elements of the space station.

In her video "FLYING IN SPACE WITH A REAL ON OUTSIDE OF STATION!!!" Christine points out a spec of dirt on the inside of the ISS window that she claims (wants to be) a fly.

Researcher Shawn Hufford zoomed in on that frame and found a human hair in view also (see below). That just proves that dirt on the inside window of the ISS was taken incorrectly as a fly.

It's interesting how confirmation bias clouds and steers a person's perceptions. Thanks Shawn.

So now Christine does agree that the ISS is real and in orbit around the Earth...
-
Christine says, "... the ISS does Travel As per what they say at 250 miles above the earth."
-
But here shy denies saying it...

One of the Best Pictures Ever Taken of ISS from the Ground. You Can Even See the Canadarm2, by Nancy Atkinson of universetoday.com

Excerpt:
"Astrophotographer Thierry Legault is renowned for his amazing shots of spacecraft transiting the Sun. He’s now outdone even himself.
On June 24 and 25, 2020, Legault captured the International Space Station passing in front of the Sun with such clarity, even the station’s robotic arm, the Canadarm2, is clearly visible. The docked SpaceX Dragon capsule can also be seen. These latest masterpieces from Legault are the most detailed ISS images captured from Earth yet.
Legault credited some new equipment for the increased clarity.
“My new CFF apochromatic triplet 8″ refractor I bought 2 weeks before the shots seems to be optically very good,” he told Universe Today via email. “Focusing is critical and is always a challenge, especially nowadays because there are no sunspots. I had to focus on the solar limb, and fortunately, at the distance of the ISS, there’s no difference in focusing between the Sun and the ISS.”
Legault said the camera he uses, and Olympus E M-1 II, has the fastest continuous shooting: 60 frames per second in 20 Mpix Raw mode. But he has less than a second to capture the space station’s pass in front of the Sun....."

Christine is still into flat Earth. Her spots are still the same, but now using a different theme (beauty)...

Why do flat-eathers have such a hard time believing the International Space Station (ISS) is real when they can literally buy a telescope and see fo themselves?
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-flat-earthers-have-such-a-hard-time-believing-the-ISS-is-real-when-they-can-literally-buy-a-telescope-and-see-for-themselves
That's why there are thousands of flat-earth videos on YouTube where they:
- Claim video of activities aboard the ISS are faked in high altitude aircraft doing a parabolic maneuver
- Make fun of "astro-NOTS"
- Insult NASA as liars
- Claim all videos of the Earth from space are Hollywood style CGI fakes
- Assert that the ISSTracker ~ Real-Time Location Tracking of the International Space Station software is actually tracking a high altitude drone
Does this look like a drone?

From the Wikipedia page about him: Ralf Vandebergh - Wikipedia
"The image shows not only the ISS with very special lighting angle but also it shows activity around the ISS which is often the case. You see the Japanese Cargo Ship HTV-1 in its demonstration flight shortly before docking and just a few hundred meters below the ISS."
Ralf Vandebergh (born 1976) is a Dutch astronomer, professional photographer and veteran satellite spotter from Nijswiller (nl). He is known for photographing the Sun, Moon, planets, satellites, NASA Space Shuttles, and the International Space Station from Earth using a telescope-mounted camera. His work is widely published in the media.

It’s important to point out that no POSITIVE PROOF has ever been presented as evidence that the Earth is flat. Only negative irrational and unscientific theories have been exhibited.
All attempts to prove the Earth is flat are based upon efforts to cast doubt on the validity of scientific data that clearly demonstrates that the Earth is a globe - rather than showing proof of flatness.
POSITIVE PROOF you need to provide for us:
A real photograph taken from an elevation of 500 miles or more above the surface of the Earth, that clearly shows the Earth is flat.
A real photograph taken of the flat Earth edge.
If no edge, then a real photograph of the infinite expanse.
If no infinite expanse, then a real photograph of the dome.
If no dome, then at least 1,000 photos of the 25,000 mile long impenetrable ice wall.
If no ice wall, then a real photograph of the lost civilizations that are there.
If no lost civilization's, then what is your next guess?
