Tuesday Telescope: A time-lapse from orbit reveals treasures below
by Eric Berger from Ars Technica - All content on (#6XQ7C)
I did not expect to feature NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers in the Tuesday Telescope so soon, but a recent photo she shared is just sublime. (In case you missed it, we wrote about her photo of lightning from space about a month ago.)
This week Ayers has a time-lapse sequence she captured from the Cupola as the International Space Station soared near Central and South America.
"Soooooo much going on in this picture," Ayers wrote on the social media site X. "You can see Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, with South America off in the distance."
