Look at the Earth from Outer Space

How is the earth look like from space? Have you ever considered such a question? Though we have to stay on the earth for a whole lifespan, few of us can tell correctly the image of the earth, I'm afraid.

Look at these pics by a Japanese astronaut, will you believe what come into your eyes?


Akashi Kaikyo Bridge--the longest suspension bridge in the world



Niagara Falls in the winter, is it frozen?

the Forbidden City (in Beijing--a must-see in China travel)

Lake Pukaki in New Zealand 

Desert in Iraq, more like an oil painting

the Dead Sea in Israel

Istanbul Turkey--the throat of transportation from the east to the west

The Grand Canyon in the U.S.

Beijing-- capital of PRC, find the bird's nest?

International Space Station

Soichi Noguchi--the astronant

Have you ever considered that from another angle, the earth can demonstrate such a different view? Mysterious, charming and pleasant!
