Voyager famously captured two unique views of our home world from afar. The upper image, taken in 1977 from a distance of 7.3 million miles (11.7 million km), showed the full Earth and full moon...
Everything that happens on the International Space Station revolves around one thing: Earth, sixteen times a day! So for Earth Day, NASA offers a gift you can’t get anywhere else with this leisurely view of our home planet, from 250 miles up, rendered in extraordinary ultra-high definition video.
Fifty years after Apollo 17 astronauts photographed the iconic “blue marble” image, cameras in space have again captured distant views of our home planet. Two spacecraft designed to study the Sun also got some recent peeks at Earth and other planets.
Only a select few men and women have looked at Earth from space firsthand. From that exceptional viewpoint they have marveled at both the beauty and the fragility of our planet. The rest of us rely on images made by astronauts’ cameras and the satellites circling the globe ― and, from deeper space, by robotic missions looking back across ...

The first metal 3D printer in space, a collaboration between ESA and Airbus, has printed its first metal product on the International Space Station, a breakthrough in crew autonomy for future long-duration exploration missions. Catalysing new space ventures with ESA’s Earth Observation …
Watch over one hour of our planet, seen from the International Space Station, in 4K resolution. This compilation was made from video taken by ESA astronauts, mostly by Thomas Pesquet during his first mission, Proxima, and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst on his second mission, Horizons, as well as footage from Samantha Cristoforetti's Futura ...
NASA presents images of Earth captured by cameras aboard the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle. Traveling at an approximate speed of 17,500 miles per hour, the space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes from an altitude of approximately 220 miles, and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
