The text at the last image doesn't seem right, I think the stripes are stars and the little dots are geostationary satellites. If the photographer took a fixed long exposure the earth would rotate and the stars would move against the sky, but because the satellites are in a geostationary orbit they move with the earth's rotation so it looks like they don't move at all.
