Soyuz and a Winter View of Earth (NASA, International Space Station, 01/05/11)

Newer Older

Editor's note: this is worth viewing in large to see the snowy details on Earth in the background!

Backdropped by a wintry scene on Earth, a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, docked to the International Space Station, is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 26 crew member on the station.

    Where is this above? There's what looks like a shadow on the ground (lower center of the photo), and if i'm interpreting it right, it's a very tall monolith.

    mdmarkus66:

    NASA's Astronaut Photography of Earth display records for these photos usually have lat/lon coordinates.

    In this case however, Display Record ISS026-E-021655 lacks most of the metadata including the location, and a Google search for photo ISS026-E-021655 isn't turning up any alternative records for it.

    So someone at NASA will have to update the database for us to find out where it was taken. (In spite of my profile icon, I'm not affiliated with NASA :-)
