| Baltimore with a Dusting of Snow: While traveling to the
International Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor,
astronauts photographed the northeastern United States blanketed in
fresh snow. This image, taken in early December 2002, shows the city
of Baltimore, and the surrounding area. An inset shows the center of
the city (rotated so north points up). Astronauts routinely track weather phenomena on Earth, and use their onboard cameras to document their observations. Ground support in the Earth Observations Lab at the Johnson Space Center also track weather events world wide as part of the image planning activities, and alert the crews to significant events such as winter storm systems. |
