    • Description

      This educational video describes how our planet looks different through the eyes of the astronauts on board the International Space Station, and through the artificial eyes of satellites. Italian astronaut Roberto Vittori discusses what he saw at a 350-km high orbit, and what satellites can see – that the human eye cannot – at double that height. Images and animations show the dramatic importance of observing Earth from space for its care and preservation.

      Several video clips have been downloaded from the web site, The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/), managed by Image Science and Analysis Laboratory of NASA-Johnson Space Centre. We thank them for the availability of this incredible image archive.

      Che panorama! Da 50 a 100 volte più in alto dell'Everest

      Questo video educativo, rivolto alle scuole, e disponibile in italiano e a breve anche in inglese, descrive come appare il nostro pianeta agli occhi di un’astronauta a bordo della stazione spaziale e come invece lo vedono gli occhi artificiali dei satelliti. Le immagini e le animazioni sono commentate dall’astronauta italiano Roberto Vittori che coglie l’occasione per spiegare quanto sia essenziale osservare la nostra Terra dallo spazio per proteggerla e sorvegliarla.

      Diverse sequenze del video provengono dall'archivio immagini del sito - The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/), che ringraziamo per concederne il libero utilizzo.
