Truly amazing Space Station pictures

Sullyman2007 · 06-23-2008, 05:15 PM

I was going to save these all to my disk but they're pretty big so I'm just going to post the link.

These are some pictures taken by astronauts during the latest (just landed) mission. Be sure to hit F11 so you can view them in greater detail.

Amazing o.o

**Popmeister** · 06-23-2008, 05:33 PM

Whoa, nice. I like the perspective shot of Earth, the shuttle and the astronauts third from the bottom. Hurricane Dean's pretty intense, too.

Sullyman2007 · 06-23-2008, 05:34 PM

Haha yeah, it was a random email from someone. Thought it was pretty cool so I figured I'd post.

Not sure which one. Might be the clouds or something. You might be looking at the cables. Bottom right of the photo?

Looks to be a river.

Izzy · 06-23-2008, 06:11 PM

Yea that would make sense. I don't know why it seems raised up to me.

heyitsmee · 06-23-2008, 06:13 PM

wall of china ? haven't even looked at the pics only on this one you posted so its a wild guess

**Bluearrowll** · 06-23-2008, 06:14 PM

That hurricane picture's probably the best.

Crashfan3 · 06-23-2008, 06:17 PM

Nice pics.
I would not want to be the dude hanging by one hand in that second picture. One slip and it's out into the depths of the unknown with him O_O;;

Izzy · 06-23-2008, 06:20 PM

I dont think the wall of china is that big. It would be like.. 5 miles across or something.

**Adamaja456** · 06-23-2008, 06:23 PM

my grandpa sends me lots of NASA pictures. There awesome to look at

these one are really cool

heyitsmee · 06-23-2008, 06:23 PM

ahh you have point there Izzy
a river then because you can see the contact point with the sea and the material going to sea..

Sullyman2007 · 06-23-2008, 06:34 PM

Right, you can see the jetty. And I think it's just a myth that you can see the Great Wall of China from space. I don't think it's true. and I don't see Japan anywhere..

The forth one down is probably my favorite

heyitsmee · 06-23-2008, 06:51 PM

tackled the myth
visible from space.

The Earth looks really neat in the fourth one.
