NASAさんのインスタグラム写真 - (NASAInstagram)「QUESTION: Would you rather be on the beach or would you rather gawk at it from space? For some, it’s a tough choice.⁣ 🏖️ 🚀 ⁣ Astronaut Soichi Noguchi of @JAXAjp recently took this image of Andros Island, the largest island in the Bahamas. He and his three crew mates, NASA astronauts @AstroVicGlover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker, are currently living and working aboard the International Space Station (@iss) for a six-month science mission. The crew launched on Nov. 15 from @NASAKennedy and are conducting a number of scientific research, including Earth observation.⁣ ⁣ Every 90 minutes, the space station completes one orbit around Earth. Because Earth rotates below them while they orbit, the crew get to see most of their beautiful blue marble of a planet from the unique vantage point of space. By photographing Earth from about 250 miles above the surface, astronauts can record phenomena such as storms in real time, and even provide input to ground teams.⁣ (So, did you decide yet?) ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #Bahamas #BlueMarble #Earth #Blue #Serene」12月5日 7時22分
