When you get a chance, you peer out your window, and look down on your world from space. Imagine you’re an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS), orbiting the Earth at an altitude of about 260 miles (420 km). Music: using music to impact a visual experience Mathematics: using ratios and proportions Geography: characteristics of Earth observable from orbit – clouds, storms, land masses, bodies of water, views during the day and at night Physics and Space: a spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit as an observing platform – apparent size of Earth, apparent motion of Earth due to spacecraft speed, frequency of day/night variation Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the post. To Teachers: you can pass this post on to your students as a home activity, so they can watch live video of the Earth from the International Space Station.įeedback on this Teachable Moment is welcome.
