Keep gazing at Earth as NASA Astronaut presents us with ‘fish eye’ view of our planet

Washington, October 5: Ever wondered how our Earth looks from outside the Earth? The twisty question yet interesting at the same time. Of course, it looks like a blue ball! But, gazers here is something new for you! Here is the fish eye view of our planet Earth. 

This view has been provided by NASA Astronaut Randy Bresnik in this time-lapse video from his unique vantage point on the International Space Station, from 250 miles above our home planet. He posted it to his social media accounts on Oct. 1 saying, “Desert sands, wispy clouds, and blue ocean, the cupola fish-eye spies many features along the spine of Africa in this #timelapse.”

 

There are currently six people living and working on the space station, which is orbiting our planet at 17,500 mph. They are conducting important science and research on the orbiting laboratory that will not only help us send humans to deep space destinations, like Mars but also has direct benefits to live on Earth.
