wow i was expecting no movement in this stream, the incredibly slow but very visible rotation of the earth is weirdly calming... anyone know how fast the ISS completes one full orbit?

looks like its coming around again from the dark side... so however long that was I would say about an hour maybe for one full rotation. I'm basing that off of no evidence whatsoever.

"Live video from the International Space Station includes internal views when the crew is on-duty and Earth views at other times. The video is accompanied by audio of conversations between the crew and Mission Control. This video is only available when the space station is in contact with the ground. During "loss of signal" periods, viewers will see a blue screen. Since the station orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, it experiences a sunrise or a sunset about every 45 minutes. When the station is in darkness, external camera video may appear black, but can sometimes provide spectacular views of lightning or city lights below."
Straight from the stream description. Sunrise and sunset every 45 and full rotation every 90.
