ISS007-E-9227 Watching the World Go By: Photograph of Ed near the window in the Zvezda Service Module on the International Space Station. The Earth’s Horizon is visible through the window. In addition to the small windows on various modules throughout the station, the Destiny U.S. Laboratory has an optical quality window designed specifically for Earth Observations. ISS007-E-9227 (July 2, 2003)

ISS007-E-7304 Watching the World Go By: Ed took this view of the “Big Blue Beach Ball” using a wide angle lens while the Station was over the Pacific Ocean. In the foreground are the atolls of Tabitueua and Onotoa. ISS007-E-7304 (June 13, 2003, 16 mm lens)

ISS007-E-9986 Watching the World Go By: Ed took this photograph of the Earth’s horizon from a spacecraft position over Dodge City, Kansas, looking westward out the window. In the lower right is the Great Salt Lake. At the left side in the distance are the Sierra Nevada Mountains with elevations between 12,000 and 15,000 feet, and coastal California. ISS007-E-9986 (July 11, 2003, 50 mm lens)

ISS007-E-16807 Watching the World Go By: The Honolulu International Airport runway juts into the water on the left side of this frame. In the center is Ke’ehi Lagoon and on the right is Sand Island. ISS007-E-16807 (October 8, 2003, 800 mm lens)

ISS004-E-10288 Watching the World Go By: In this photograph of the San Francisco Bay area taken from the International Space Station during Expedition 4, the gray urban footprint of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and their surrounding suburbs contrast strongly with the green hillsides. ISS004-E-10288 (April 21, 2002, 105 mm lens)

ISS007-E-8738 Watching the World Go By: Ed took this detailed photograph of the San Francisco bay salt ponds and the adjacent urban and industrial areas. ISS007-E-8738 (June 30, 2003, 800 mm lens).

ISS007-E-14547 Watching the World Go By: These morning thunderstorms formed over the coast of the southeastern United States. ISS007-E-14547 (September 8, 2003, 400 mm lens)

ISS007-E-12858 Watching the World Go By: Sunlight reflects off of the lakes of Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario. The area lies between Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods, just north of the USA-Canadian border. The long vertical clouds in the image are condensation trails produced in the wake of jet airplanes, probably from heavy air traffic around Chicago O’Hare. ISS007-E-12858 (August 17, 2003, 180 mm lens).

ISS007-E-8259 Watching the World Go By: Dust blowing from the Sahara Desert obscures the country of Western Sahara. In this view the Space Station is over the Atlantic and Ed was looking southwest toward the horizon. On the right winds are causing partial Von Karmen vortices to form downwind of the Canary Islands. ISS007-E-8259 (June 25, 2003, 50 mm lens).

ISS007-E-11204 Watching the World Go By: A detailed side view of the Earth’s atmosphere at sunset. High clouds have formed at the top of the orange-colored Earth’s troposphere. Ed has also photographed noctilucent clouds, which occur above the mesosphere. ISS007-E-11204 (July 28, 2003, 800 mm lens)
