Presentation Transcript

  1. The sun is about to come up over the South Pacific Ocean in this colorful scene photographed by one of the Expedition 35 crew members aboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station between 4 and 5 a.m. local time on May 5, 2013 and released on May 9, 2013. The space station was at a point above Earth located at 27.4 degrees south latitude and 110.1 degrees west longitude, a few hundred miles east of Easter Island. NASA-Handout via Reuter

  2. A NASA handout released December 5, 2012 of a composite image of Asia and Australia at night, assembled from data acquired by the Suomi NPP satellite in April and October 2012. The image was made possible by the satellite's 'day-night band' of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, gas flares, auroras, wildfires and reflected moonlight.

  5. An undated composite image courtesy of NASA shows the view taken from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. A total of 18 images were used to create the composite. REUTERS-NASA-Handou

  6. A NASA handout shows a large presence of stratocumulus clouds photographed by the Expedition 34 crew members aboard the International Space Station above the northwestern Pacific Ocean about 460 miles east of northern Honshu, Japan on January 4, 2013 and released January 14, 2013. The cloud pattern is typical for this part of the world carrying cold air over a warmer sea with no discernable storm pattern. REUTERS-NASA-Handou
