Earth From Space

We don’t often think of our home Earth as a planet, but not only is it a terrestrial planet, it’s also incredibly interesting to scientists as it’s the only planet known to harbor life. Researchers study different regions of Earth in order to better understand how life formed and how we might search for it more effectively in our Solar System and beyond.

To help view Earth in its planetary context, here’s a video that recreates a complete orbit of the Earth in real time as if viewed from the International Space Station.
