Astronauts' most jaw-dropping photos from the International Space Station show what 2024 looked like 250 miles above Earth Morgan McFall-Johnsen December 26, 2024 at 5:45 AM
An image of HH 24 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image of HH 24 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is probably the most well known image of this Herbig-Haro object. HH 24 resembles a lightsaber from the science fiction movies Star Wars and the Hubble image was published during the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. [6]
The cloud height, more commonly known as cloud thickness or depth, is the distance between the cloud base and the cloud top. [1] It is traditionally expressed either in metres or as a pressure difference in hectopascal (hPa, equivalent to millibar ).
Earth's atmosphere photographed from the International Space Station.The orange and green line of airglow is at roughly the altitude of the Kármán line. [1]The Kármán line (or von Kármán line / v ɒ n ˈ k ɑːr m ɑː n /) [2] is a conventional definition of the edge of space, though it is not universally accepted.
A cloud base (or the base of the cloud) is the lowest altitude of the visible portion of a cloud. It is traditionally expressed either in metres or feet above mean sea level or above a planetary surface, or as the pressure level corresponding to this altitude in hectopascals (hPa, equivalent to the millibar ).
Three NASA astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut returned to Earth early Friday after a nearly eight-month stay in space, splashing down off Florida's coast.
Astronauts on the International Space Station, which has been in orbit for decades, have collected a stunning array of images of New Jersey. Astronauts have taken 1,000 photos of NJ from space ...
Clouds of the genus nimbostratus tend to bring constant precipitation and low visibility. This cloud type normally forms above 2 kilometres (6,600 ft) [10] from altostratus cloud but tends to thicken into the lower levels during the occurrence of precipitation. The top of a nimbostratus deck is usually in the middle level of the troposphere.
