السلام عليكم :
NASA astronaut Douglas Wheelock who is currently aboard the International
Space Station shares pictures of the Earth he snaps with the world through Twitter.
Known to his nearly 68,000 Twitter followers as Astro_Wheels, Wheelock has
been posting impressive photos of the Earth and some of his thoughts ever since he
moved into the space station in June, five months after it got Internet access.
Greek islands on a clear night during our flight over Europe . Athens shines
brightly along the Mediterranean Sea .
' Mystery Island ' ....located in the Indian Ocean close to Madagascar . Interesting features
on the island and the unusual shape should be enough to help you discover this beautiful place.
Northern lights in the distance in one of the finest nights over Europe . The photo clearly
shows the Strait of Dover . Paris is dazzling with the city lights. A little fog over the
western part of England , particularly over London .
The moon is breathtaking.
Of all the places of our beautiful planet few can rival the beauty and richness of
colors in the Bahamas . In this photo, our ship is seen against the backdrop of the Bahamas .
At a speed of 28,163 kilometers per hour (8 kilometers per second), we rotate the
Earth's orbit, making one revolution every 90 minutes, and watch sunsets and sunrises
every 45 minutes. So half of our journey is in darkness. For the work we use lights
on our helmets.
Every time I look out the window and see our beautiful planet, my soul sings!
I see blue skies, white clouds and bright blessed day
Another spectacular sunset. We see 16 such sunsets each day, and each of them
is really valuable.
Beautiful atoll in the Pacific Ocean , photographed using 400mm lens. Approximately
1930 km south of Honolulu .
Perfect reflection of sunlight in the eastern Mediterranean. (Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, and Syria)
Above the center of the Atlantic Ocean , before another stunning sunset. Downstairs
in the setting sun visible spiral Hurricane Earl.
A little farther east, we saw a sacred monolith Uluru, better known as Ayers Rock.
I have never had the opportunity to visit Australia , but someday I hope that I will
stand by this miracle of nature.
Morning over the Andes in South America . I do not know for sure the title of this peak,
but was simply amazed by her magic, stretching to the sun and wind tops.
Over the Sahara desert, approaching the ancient lands and thousand-year history.
River Nile flows through Egypt by the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo . Further, the Red Sea ,
Sinai Peninsula, Dead Sea , Jordan River, as well as the island of Cyprus in the
Mediterranean Sea and Greece on the horizon.
Night view of the River Nile, stretching like a snake through Egypt to the Mediterranean ,
and Cairo , located in the Delta. Far away in this picture, one can see the Mediterranean
Sea.
Our unmanned 'Progress 39P' approaches the ISS for refuelling. It is full of food,
fuel, spare parts and all necessities for our station. Inside was a real gift - fresh fruit
and vegetables. What a miracle after three months of food from a tube!
I wanted to share with you this view from the Dome. We said goodbye to the
members of our group Sasha, Misha and Tracy this weekend, and they returned
safely back to Earth. In this photo, Tracy quietly dreams of returning home.
Module Union 23C Olympus docked with the ISS. When our work ends here,
we go back home to Earth. We fly over the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus .
The rising sun is reflected from the Caspian Sea .
The flash of color, movement and life on the canvas of our amazing world. This
is part of the Great Barrier Reef off the east coast of Australia , photographed
through the lens of 1200 mm.
All the beauty of Italy , a clear summer night.. You can see many beautiful
islands that adorn the coast - Capri , Sicily and Malta . Naples and Mount
Vesuvius are all located along the coast.
At the southern end of South America lies the pearl of Patagonia . The amazing
beauty of rugged mountains, massive glaciers, fjords and seas combined in
perfect harmony.
"Dome" on the side of nadir station gives a panoramic view of our beautiful planet.
Fedor made the picture from the window of the Russian docking compartment. In this
photo. I'm sitting in the dome, preparing the camera for our evening flight over
Hurricane Earl.
Florida and southeastern U.S. in the evening. A clear autumn evening, the moonlight
over the water and sky, dotted with millions of stars.
Clear starry night over the eastern Mediterranean . The ancient land with a thousand
years of history stretching from Athens to Cairo . Historical land of fabulous and
alluring islands .... Athens - Crete - Rhodes - Izmir - Ankara - Cyprus - Damascus -
Beirut - Haifa - Amman - Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Cairo - all of them turned into tiny
lights in this cool November night.
يا حزركن وينا حمص  - شفتوا 
In this time of year, you can enjoy the beauty of the polar mesospheric clouds.
With our high-angle illumination, we were able to capture a thin layer of
noctilucent clouds at sunset.
