With everything going wrong in the world today, I still live in child-like awe of photos from or of Space.

I'm grateful that I live in an age where I've seen photos from orbit become more and more high resolution. As scary as that hurricane looks, the fidelity of it looks absolutely beautiful.

How did they make the earth look like a sphere?

Meanwhile, Republicans trying to find the climate change:

They're actually still trying to find the curve.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago

Oh boy, that looks big. I'm glad I'm really far away from that and good luck to anyone who isn't as lucky as me, seriously.

Take THAT flat-earthers!

No, wait...

[-] MurphysPaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Its obviously a fish eye lens! Wake up

This is clearly the round earth, they are on the other one

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

JFC, almost looks like a still from 2012 or the Day after Tomorrow.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

... Roland Emmerich must be working on the final entry in his trilogy.

[-] Sarie@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Trilogy!? There's a second one?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Both 2012 and Day After Tomorrow were at least partially written by and entirely directed by Roland Emmerich!

I hope everyone in the path of this beast survives.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 32 points 15 hours ago

Buckle up, Bible Belt. It's going to be wild.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 36 points 14 hours ago

God is mad at them for being so mean to their trans neighbors. It's the only explanation.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 6 points 14 hours ago

Nah, that's our collective karma for not caring for our habitat.

To quote Red Dwarf:

"All hands on deck, swirly thing alert!"

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 7 points 11 hours ago

"Red alert!"

"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

A rare Red Dwarf quote in the wild.

You are an individual of quality.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 19 points 14 hours ago

Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 20 points 14 hours ago

It does, you can capture it with any halfway decent camera so long as it’s backlit by the sun and it’s dark out (and your timing is perfect)

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

It's only about 250 miles (400 km) high

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

Here's hoping it wipes out Mar A Lago. So the dipshit can get his lackies to push relief fund to people who need it and not to Ron I am A Cocksucker Desantis.

[-] Ramenhunter84@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

That hurricane is some galactic level catastrophy boss level destruction about to happen... Lots of people are going to die. Godspeed to those hunkering down.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago

We're the ones that seeded and birthed it.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Mother Nature is going to fuck up the Florida Oblast.

[-] jj122@lemmings.world 5 points 12 hours ago

This would be even cooler with a whole days worth of fly-bys showing the progression of size.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.

Thank you.

That helped me find a non-Twitter link: https://www.sen.com/video/570871d0-340c-475e-af31-26115ff6ed83

But I bet there’s an actual original source somewhere.

[-] alester82@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Sen is the original source. They sent 4K cameras up to the ISS earlier this year, and they’ve been capturing some amazing shots.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Interesting. How did they work out that deal?
