Carl Sagan’s prediction about America, made 31 years ago.

Earth, rotating in full view, captured by NASA’s EPIC camera aboard NOAA’s DSCOVR spacecraft.

DSCOVR sits near Sun-Earth L1, about 1 million miles away, where it can continuously view the fully sunlit side of our planet. This is not composited, these are full Earth hemisphere photos assembled into a video.

EPIC takes 10 narrow-band spectral images of Earth, from ultraviolet through visible light, roughly 13 to 22 times per day. The public images are natural-color views assembled from that real data.

Frame after frame, Earth turns.

Cloud systems move. Continents rotate through sunlight. Weather evolves across a curved, spinning world.

This is what reality looks like. Flerfs in denial.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏

To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to @sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space.
Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the International @Space_Station, with data delivered via the @AirbusSpace platform.

Streaming in real time, it shows breathtaking views of our planet as the International Space Station passes over cities, oceans and deserts.

Watch Earth from above, just like our astronaut @SophieAdenot does on the #εpsilon mission.

Your close personal friends, the @NASAArtemis astronauts (and Rise), can't wait to get home!

In the meantime, enjoy a few new pictures from their camera roll. And watch their return with us live at https://t.co/z1RgZwQkWS.

Save it as a wallpaper, hang it in the Louvre, play the Moonlight Sonata, and marvel at its beauty.

"We aren't going to the Moon, but rather meeting it at an exact point in space.
​And it isn't necessary to spend fuel, either; the calculations are made so that everything works through pure physics and gravity.
​It is flawless."

One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.

This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
