And then you get the mosaic, you get them all.Īndrea Meado, Crew Earth Observations payload operator, on fishing boats: If I wanted to film a length of the canyon, if I wanted to get the detail with the big lens.I took a shot, immediately took another shot, another shot-a series of them in a very short duration of time, say seconds-then later you can take a software package and stitch them together. The Grand Canyon was one of my favorites. And just knowing that for that particular stretch of time you are pretty much seeing what the crew saw in orbit.
Just to be able to see that process, seeing how the aurora shifts and moves like a live thing. The time-lapse imagery that we’ve been able to get of aurora is just fascinating to watch, and just strikingly beautiful. Will Stefanov, ISS program scientist for Earth Observations, on auroras: I went back and reframed it and there was this volcano erupting. Something in the back of my head said that last one didn’t look right. I was just taking pictures of one island, the next island, the next island. One is fairly well known because the story’s been told of an erupting volcano in 2006 off the coast of Alaska. Jeff Williams, astronaut, on Cleveland Volcano: We asked the ESRS team and astronaut Jeff Williams (ISS expeditions 13, 21/22, and 47/48) to share a few of their favorite views from the space station era. Most have been catalogued by the Earth Science and Remote Sensing (ESRS) unit at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Over the past 60 years, astronauts have shot more than 1.5 million photographs of Earth from the International Space Station and other spacecraft.

It is usually the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon-bright enough to be seen in urban areas even through all the light pollution.
To the naked eye, the Space Station looks like a big white dot that moves quickly across the sky without changing direction, unlike aircraft, for example.

The ISS shoots over Toronto in this time-lapse photo taken on February 13, 2013.
