What the world needs now 💛 Views of Earth are captured from the unique vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS) as it orbited about 254 miles (409 km) above. Astronaut Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXAjp) was the photographer behind the lens. 1. Lake Baikal covered in ice. The edge of Earth is highlighted by the blue glow of the atmosphere, contrasting with the darkness of space. 2. Lisbon, Portugal, takes center stage in this image captured on Feb. 4 2023. The Tagus river divides the sprawling city of red clay tile roofs that fade into green areas closer inland. 3. Cairo, Egypt, on Feb. 4, 2023. The city sits on sand-colored ground, and details of streets going in and out. Can you spot the pyramids? (Hint: They appear as three partially shadowed squares near the far left of the image where the urban development intersects with the desert landscape.)
