Viewing the Silent Beauty of Earth From Space
Orbiting the Earth from an altitude of approximately 240 miles, astronauts onboard the International Space Station have a unique and truly breathtaking view of our planet. In celebrating Earth Science Week, we wanted to share this NASA video featuring stunning images of Earth captured by NASANational Aeronautics and Space Administration astronaut Randy Bresnik, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryazanskiy, and European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli while onboard the space station August 2017 through October 2017.
