Il messaggio lasciato negli spogliatoi di Los Angeles dai giocatori e dallo staff dell'Iran dopo la partita con il Belgio: "Dall’antica Persia di migliaia di anni fa all’Iran civile di oggi, lo spirito dell’Iran rimane vivo e saldo. Siamo venuti a Los Angeles con orgoglio, abbiamo gareggiato con onore e ce ne andiamo con dignità. Grazie, Los Angeles, per la tua ospitalità. E grazie a ogni iraniano che ha dato il proprio cuore, la propria voce e la propria anima per l’Iran durante questi 180 minuti. Che la pace, il rispetto e l’amicizia prevalgano tra tutte le nazioni”.
While two astronauts carry on with their tasks aboard the station, a satellite lifts off from Earth below—creating a breathtaking view that’s hard to forget.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
IMPORTANT 🚨: This is not the Milky Way.
What you’re looking at is the Andromeda Galaxy—captured by the Hubble Space Telescope—filled with billions of stars, and most of them likely host their own planets.
Take a moment to really process that.
