Earth Like You've Never Seen It Before

How about a daily dose of perspective? Take a minute to experience these mind-blowing photos of our beautiful planet as seen from outer space!

Blue Planet

If your job is to be cooped up in a tiny shuttle for months at a time, they better give you one hell of a view.

The Circle of Light

We know what you're thinking. But, yes, it is a real photograph! We checked!

Earthrise

This was taken in 1968 by astronauts who were the first to see our planet from this perspective. Over 40 years later, this is still one of the most profound photographs ever taken of our planet.

City of Lights

Italy is known for its misshapen boot. What brand is that boot? It's super sparkly. Don't worry about it.

The U.S. East Coast

It's amazing to see how much impact we are capable of making. Hey, your headlights are on.

A Bird's Eye View of The Himalayas

The Himalaya Mountains have the highest peaks in the world. This beautiful photo captures that immense mountain range from outer space.

Star Bright

The Sun makes this photo of the Space Shuttle named Endeavour look even more incredible. The Earth doesn't look too bad either.

Volcanic Ash

The Cleveland Volcano in Alaska, United States spewed enough ash to be seen by astronaut Jeff Williams.

Walking on Air (Kinda)

This photo comes courtesy of NASA. What would you do if you had an itch in this suit?

Out of This World Weather

That has to be one massive thunderstorm. And here we thought driving in the rain was a pain. No, it still is.

Prepare to Spacewalk

When spacecraft needs maintenance, an astronaut's gotta do what an astronaut's gotta do. YOLO.

Oh Holy Night

So that's why our electric bill is so expensive.

Dunking on The Dune

This photo shows the sand dunes of the Sahara shifting. Think about how huge they must be if you can photograph them from space.
