NASA Airs HD Earth Views from Space Station for Earth Day




WASHINGTON -- A special high definition feed from NASA Television on Earth Day, April 22, will feature views of Earth captured by cameras aboard the International Space Station.

The space station and its crew orbit Earth once every 90 minutes from an altitude of approximately 220 miles. It can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. The orbiting outpost travels at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, and the crew experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. The station has been continuously occupied since the first crew arrived in November 2000.

The special Earth views HD feed can be seen April 22 from 6 to 9 a.m., noon to 2 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. EDT.

A schedule of additional Earth Day programming on NASA TV and satellite coordinate information is available at:

just saw ISS overhead for 5 minutes from South Jersey last night Aug 15, lucky cloud break during rainy weather. Amazing to see. I think that might be Pimlico Sound in NC at 4 minutes in. Gravity is the bending of space by a moving body

through it, larger the mass, more of the bending of space.

An orbit is a dance between gravity and centrifugal force. The high velocity around the body generates enough outward momentum to keep it in balance with the force of the earth's gravity tugging on it.
