Earth from space...live streaming webcam!

[fushingfeef]

I found this fascinating. They have attached 4 high def webcams to the international space station, pointed down at Earth. Now anyone with an internet connection can view the Earth live, in real time, from space!

If the image appears dark, it is for the 45 minutes the space station is on the "night" side of Earth. Check back again often, this is a limited time live feed!

I was able to identify Mt. Brandberg in the Namib desert in southwestern Africa. It looks like a big flat pizza so it was hard to miss.

The sunrise is coming up!!

 

[Spideyman]

Totally awesome. Thankee for this wondrous experience.

 

[Out of Order]

Look close and you can see the moon too.

This link will help you determine what part of Earth it's over at a given time...scroll down for a global map.

Current position of the ISS

 

[fushingfeef]

Should be over the Panama Canal area at around 3:05 PM EST today, I'm hoping the camera angle is right!

 

[Dana Jean]

It's over Malaysia soon. Maybe it can help find that damn plane.

 

[fushingfeef]

Couldn't see the canal, but the Andes Mountains were beautiful! The rain forests were...cloudy!

 

[Spideyman]

So beautiful. We need to take better care of her.

So we'll be able to see what parts of the world have been taken over in the zombie apocalypse!
