You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes, Chris Hadfield's Photos of Earth from Space

Posted on by

As commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield captivated the world with beautiful photos and commentary from space.

In a new book, You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes,Hadfield chooses the best from the thousands of photos he took on the International Space Station.

The Richat Structure in Mauritania, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, is a landmark for astronauts. If you've been busy doing experiments and haven't looked out the window for a while, it's hard to know where you are, especially if you're over a vast 3,600,000-square-mile desert. This bull's-eye orients you, instantly. Oddly, it appears not to be the scar of a meteorite but a deeply eroded dome, with a rainbow-inspired colour scheme(Chris Hadfield)

Salt from evaporation ponds in Great Salt Lake, Utah, is used to produce a lot of the world's magnesium metal. The largest saline lake in the western hemisphere attracts pastel-coloured algae, brine shrimp and the birds that love them, but so far, just this one lone wolf(Chris Hadfield)

On a clear day you can see forever (or at least from Havana to Washington, DC)(Chris Hadfield)

The Nile, draining out into the Mediterranean. The bright lights of Cairo announce the opening of the north-flowing river's delta, with Jerusalem's answering high beams to the northeast. This 4,258 mile braid of human life, first navigated end-to-end in 2004, is visible in a single glance from space(Chris Hadfield)

A twist of cloud near Arica, Chile. You see these frequently in this part of the world because the Pacific is cold, the land is warm, and the currents and winds combine to form a cloudy vortex clockwise here, because it's the southern hemisphere. North of the equator, the spiral would turn counter-clockwise(Chris Hadfield)

Manhattan awake, 9:23am local time...(Chris Hadfield)

...Manhattan at rest, 3:45am local time(Chris Hadfield)

Venice, floating in its lagoon(Chris Hadfield)
