For more than 20 years, astronauts have been shooting photographs of Earth from the International Space Station. They have brought us unique views of our planet in all of its wonder, beauty, and ferocity. So which are the best photographs of Earth taken from the space station? Over the next five weeks, you can decide.
There are four groups: Unity, Cupola, Destiny, and Tranquility (four key modules/parts of ISS). The Unity and Cupola groups include images that were chosen by astronauts Randy Bresnik, Chris Cassidy, Drew Morgan, Don Petit, and Jeff Williams, and by the Earth Science and Remote Sensing team that trains and supports them. The photos in the Destiny and Tranquility groups were chosen by readers like you.
Voting in round 1 starts on March 8 and will end on March 15 at noon U.S. Eastern Time. Scroll down this page and click on the title beneath each image to open a new window, view an enlarged photo, and read more about it. Then come back here and click to vote for one image in each matchup. When you have made your 16 choices, remember to hit “submit your ballot” at the bottom of the page. Let the competition begin
Interesting images. Our planet can look like a lonely place at times.
