What an Astronaut’s Camera Sees
An intimate tour… in 1080p… of Earth’s most impressive landscapes… as captured by astronauts with their digital cameras. Dr. Justin Wilkinson from NASA’s astronaut team describes the special places that spacemen focus on whenever they get a moment. We start with the coast of Namibia in southwestern Africa, the very dry desert coast of the Namib Desert. You can see a cloud band butting up against the shore and some straight sand dunes in the lower left of the picture. Yeah those are big red sand dunes that the astronauts say is one of the most beautiful sites that you can get when you’re flying. Coming into the view on the left is an impact crater right in the middle of the picture, right about now and some wind streaks. We know where this area is because it’s a bit unique. We’ve got a major dune field coming into the picture on the left there: the Oriental Sand Sea, as it’s called in French, and on the top is the Isawan Sand Sea. This is the island of Sicily with cloud over Mt. Etna, so you can’t quite tell there’s a big volcano in the middle of the picture right now. And there’s the toe of the boot of Italy coming into the picture from the left. See a good example of sun glint on the right with the sea reflecting the sun. This is the smooth east coast of the Kamchatka peninsula again. As you move inland it gets even more striking as a picture because of all the volcanoes on this peninsula and the snowy mountains. There’s a volcano just coming into the picture from …
amazing, simply amazing

@xRJxi You are fucking retarded. Learn to understand humour.
what is this height? why they don’t land on the moon what is the difficulty? show us the sky in night mode so we can see star from outer enviroment of earth.
what is this height? why they don’t land on the moon what is the difficulty? show us the sky in night mode so we can see star from outer enviroment of earth. what about space station mir???
aaand this is why i want to become an astronaut.
100 people are thinking.. i would if i jumped how long it would take to hit the ground
@hakku303 well, they’re probably in low earth orbit which is about 2000km from the surface.
the moon is about 400,00km away and takes days to get there.
there is no ‘day/night mode’ in space…
MIR returned to earth in 2001, i saw it burn up in its re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere XD
@dude12nothin You just notice that? I know that since I was 6.
Noo those 4 dislikes just know the truth that we only get a heavy edited version of what really is out there in outer space.I’m not talking about aliens i’m talking about what our solar system really looks like. Why has no one asked why we never ever get to see stars in real life pictures of outer space? But we have noo problem seeing them when looking at them from earth. Clearly you can see the moon at the end of the video but you can’t see the stars or anything else. We’re being lied too.
@shebnemxx
You have nooo clue what you would really be getting yourself into. If you actually figure out what you’ve gotten yourself into it’ll already be to late for you.
@aediasse Fantastic Indeed.
@xRJxi It called a joke/sarcasm you fucktard…and calling me a “faggot” proves how unevolved you are as a human you fucking primate. Being gay in not a insult. Please grow up.
