1. A concise explanation of the problem you're experiencing.

I was wondering if there's a camera option to let the camera not be fixed on earth or anything. I wish to see the earth orbiting.

I've been looking at the camera demos but many of them either are fixed on the earth or look at a certain place in earth, while I want to have a free-drone like view while seeing the earth orbit(hopefully that makes sense)

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

I have a few satellites and its orbits shown and i want to see the earth orbit while the satellites orbit the earth.

Any help would be great!

This is definitely possible! What you want is to use the International Celestial Reference Frame. Check out the “View in ICRF” example here:

And hit play. The camera should be fixed in space and you should be able to see the globe rotating.
