Awesome trip above the Earth

Avatar

by Diana Bejan

The photo was taken from the International Space Station (ISS), approx. 400 km above the Earth, in the educational project, administered by NASA: Sally Ride EarthKAM , Mission 58, April 2017. The image was requested by a team of students from my college, coordinated by me. Even though we weren't there, on ISS, to trigger the camera, all the locations in which the photographs were taken are chosen by us, on the track of the ISS. The lenses used on the digital camera mounted on the ISS are 50 mm focal length. The area photographed in the photography is a region of 185.87 km wide and approx. 123.5 km long, from Utah, USA. The view is spectacular, a perfect equilibrium between mountains, canyons, lakes and bays. Satellite photography offered to my students a new world perspective, encouraging them to ask questions and to search for the answers. It is a new way to travel and to discover the world around us in a new and exciting way.
