The Twitter account of the International Space Station (ISS) recently shared a short video wherein NASA astronaut Doug Hurley talks about what it’s like to photograph Earth from low Earth orbit.
The video, embedded below, is just 75-seconds long, but in it, Col. Hurley explains how incredible it is to take in the beauty of Earth from a distance and points out a few of the more recognizable landmarks visible from 410 km (254.8 mi) above Earth’s surface.
Have you seen our @NASA_Astronauts’ photography of Earth from their home 250 miles above? @Astro_Doug explains one reason they snap photos to share and describes some of the most easily recognizable spots. ?
