If they restored the Parthenon, it wouldn't be the old Parthenon brought back to its original glory; it would just be a new Parthenon like the one in Tennessee. We live in a one-way universe.

What are the other curves that seem to cross the star trails in the upper left? Is that a rotating panel of the station itself?

Meteors move very fast across the sky; they don't look anything like stars. Almost all meteors you see are very small and burn to ash before they hit the ground.
