* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': {{Parodied}} whenever the host wants to show the audience what's happening outside the ship. It doesn't matter what is it, the host will always request a shot of the same gray StandardHumanSpaceship.

* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles'': The episode [[Recap/RedVsBlueS5E18Loading "Loading..."]] ends with Tucker breaking the news his troop is gonna go to Earth, humanity's home. This rises morale and the screen cuts to a space view of the planet as he's saying it.

* Music/LaOrejaDeVanGogh: "Europa VII" has a doomed astronaut as a protagonist. As she ponders over religion, politics, and philosophy, there are times when she peeks at the slowly-moving spacescape. The camera also pans to show a rocket-like spacecraft launching from a rocky planet and then flying through the stars.

Expect to see these shots [[StockFootage a lot]]. Often the effects crew would make a variety of standardized shots at the beginning of production and composite in the planet-of-the-week to save costs.

SubTrope of EstablishingShot. Compare DistantReactionShot, when an event is so massive that it can be seen from far away and the characters respond by doing a [[TheTake Take]]. If the rotating planet it's our Earth, then a HemisphereBias is quite likely. SisterTrope of StandardEstablishingSpaceshipShot --when this is done to show off [[CoolShip cool spacecraft]].

* ''Series/OdysseyFive'': Creatively {{averted}} with the series' opening.

There exists some camera shots that quickly tell the audience that the current setting is the space and that they should be properly awed by it:

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': {{Averted}}. The films always open with a shot of nothing but stars that pans to a spacecraft in flight --and in the first three, one of the ships shown was always a Star Destroyer.

* ''Art/ThePlanetVenus'': In what has to be the UrExample, this {{painting|s}} has a half-crescent moon framing the figure of the Grecorroman goddess Venus. It counts because the moon is shown as a sphere, its waxing appearance being accomplished with the lighting. As if it was painted mid-rotation. It's also a case of UnbuiltTrope, to boot, because it's meant to highlight the connection between mythology and astronomy, not show the state of humanity's cosmological exploration.
