All these incredible pictures of earth at night were taken from the International Space Station since summer 2003 and shared by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
NASA tested a new five-segment rocket engine in the Utah desert on September 8, 2011. According to an eyewitness, “The earth trembled. Hot air was started. The flames were so bright it was impossible to look at them”.
These are some amazing satellite photos captured by NASA of cities that show how quickly they are expanding. Cities are expanding in the US and all over the world at rate that has never been seen before in history.
This is a beautiful collection of photos taken by NASA in March 2010. Some pictures show places of the Earth seen from the space or the sky, some show the space itself… Photos are clickable.
The pics were taken by NASA astronauts from the International Space Station. At first, the pics were not interesting because all of them were blurred, but techniques and devices evolved over the years and now, you can have beautiful clear photos. One interesting thing is that Tokyo seen by night is rather green while other cities are more orange/yellow. In fact, the majority of the urban area in Tokyo has light green mercury vapour lamps instead of orange sodium vapour lamps.
You will see pictures by night of London, Madrid, Athens, Cairo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and lots more.
Thanks to NASA and the Cassini spacecraft, we now have the opportunity to watch these remarkable images of Saturn. Some time ago we couldn't even dream of doing that.
Some amazing photos of the Earth made from space from the different satellites or astronaut missions. You can find all these pictures with its detailed descriptions on the site the Earth Observatory.
