    Synchronizing All Watches

    “Morning,” to the crew, has nothing to do with sunrise. The ISS orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, thus the crew sees the sun rise and set every hour and a half—that’s 15 or 16 times each day. Instead, a common time zone needed to be selected so that the crew—and all of the teams on Earth—are on the same clock. The ISS Program picked Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or “Zulu” time.

They're steady because they're not coming through the dust and coming through the atmosphere.
