Andes Mountain Range | International Space Station
Two docked Russian spacecraft on the International Space Station, the Soyuz MS-09 crew ship and the Progress 70 resupply ship, were pictured as the orbital complex flew 253 miles above the Andes mountain range and the South American continent.
The Andes or Andean Mountains are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. This range is about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18° south and 20° south latitude), and of an average height of about 4,000 m (13,000 ft). The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hurricane Lane's Eye | International Space Station
Hurricane Lane, with its distinct eye, was pictured as a category 4 storm as the International Space Station orbited 251 miles above the Pacific Ocean east of the Hawaiian Islands on August 21, 2018.
Update: Tropical Storm Lane (recently downgraded) ranked as the No. 3 rainmaker from a tropical cyclone in the United States since 1950.

พายุในทะเลทรายซาฮาร่า | สถานีอวกาศนานาชาติ

ซาฮาร่าเป็นทะเลทรายร้อนที่ใหญ่ที่สุดและเป็นทะเลทรายที่ใหญ่เป็นอันดับสามในโลกหลังแอนตาร์กติกาและอาร์กติก พื้นที่ประมาณ 9,200,000 ตารางกิโลเมตร (3,600,000 ตารางไมล์) เปรียบได้กับพื้นที่ของประเทศจีนหรือสหรัฐอเมริกา ชื่อ 'ซาฮารา' มาจากคำภาษาโปรตุเกส dialectal สำหรับ "ทะเลทราย", ṣaḥra
ทะเลทรายประกอบด้วยส่วนใหญ่ของแอฟริกาเหนือไม่รวมพื้นที่อุดมสมบูรณ์บนชายฝั่งทะเลเมดิเตอร์เรเนียน Atlas Mountains ของ Maghreb และ Nile Valley ในอียิปต์และซูดาน มันทอดยาวจากทะเลแดงทางทิศตะวันออกและทะเลเมดิเตอร์เรเนียนทางตอนเหนือสู่มหาสมุทรแอตแลนติกทางทิศตะวันตกซึ่งภูมิทัศน์ค่อยๆเปลี่ยนจากทะเลทรายสู่ที่ราบชายฝั่ง ไปทางทิศใต้มีเทือกเขา Sahel ล้อมรอบด้วยหุบเขาแม่น้ำไนเจอร์และเขต Sudan ของ Sub-Saharan Africa ซึ่งเป็นแนวเขตร้อนกึ่งแห้งแล้ง ซาฮาราสามารถแบ่งออกเป็นหลายภูมิภาค ได้แก่ : ซาฮาราตะวันตกเทือกเขากลาง Ahaggar เทือกเขา Tibesti เทือกเขาAïrเทือกเขาTénéréและทะเลทรายลิเบีย

Dust Storms in the Sahara | International Space Station
"Earth's limb and dust storms in the Sahara are pictured as the International Space Station orbited nearly 252 miles above the African country of Mali."
The Sahara is the largest hot desert and the third largest desert in the world after Antarctica and the Arctic. Its area of 9,200,000 square kilometers (3,600,000 sq mi) is comparable to the area of China or the United States. The name 'Sahara' is derived from a dialectal Arabic word for "desert", ṣaḥra.
The desert comprises much of North Africa, excluding the fertile region on the Mediterranean Sea coast, the Atlas Mountains of the Maghreb, and the Nile Valley in Egypt and Sudan. It stretches from the Red Sea in the east and the Mediterranean in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the west, where the landscape gradually changes from desert to coastal plains. To the south, it is bounded by the Sahel, a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna around the Niger River valley and the Sudan Region of Sub-Saharan Africa. The Sahara can be divided into several regions including: the western Sahara, the central Ahaggar Mountains, the Tibesti Mountains, the Aïr Mountains, the Ténéré desert, and the Libyan Desert.

Earth Aurora | International Space Station
Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev: "Our planet in bright neon colors of Aurora. The short answer to how the Aurora happens is that energetic electrically-charged particles accelerate along the magnetic field into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light."
