Blue marble and the blue planet are both known for the rock that is our home. But “Earth’s Earth”? This is a new one.
But when displayed by the dome unit at the International Space Station, this is exactly what appears – according to the NASA Porter Don Betet.
Betit posted his amazing footage on social media on Tuesday. The American astronaut used a wide-angle lens to get the seven-window dome unit, using the paintings to frame the Earth in a way that makes it look like-I have guessed that-the eyebrow.

The image is the latest in a series of impressive images that Pettit shares during his six -month stay on the space station.
Currently, the oldest astronaut in NASA has become a 69 -year -old ISS inhabitant of the seizure of dramatic stars’ paths using long exposure. Pettit also participated in some amazing shots in Aurora as they were seen from the road above the ground, and also managed to capture a spacecraft from the Spacex crew on its home trip at the end of the historic Polaris Dawn mission, which included the first commercial space.
Other images of Pettit make parts of the earth resemble the artist’s fabric, including this wonderful image of rivers in the Amazon basin, and this image shows the mouth of the Betsiboka River in Madagascar.
It would be sad for the Pettit space photography fans to know that the astronaut will return to Terra Firma this month.
Speaking last year about a reason he enjoyed taking pictures of 250 miles, Betit said: “Pictures of space helps tell the story to people on the ground that has no opportunity to go to space,” adding that besides taking memories of his time in orbit, “Photographs help complete the story of what humans mean to expand space and expand these limits.”
