The Sun’s glint beams off a partly cloudy Atlantic Ocean just after sunrise as the International Space Station orbited 263 miles above on March 5, 2025. The space station serves as a unique platform for observing Earth with both hands-on and automated equipment. Station crew members have produced hundreds of thousands of images, recording phenomena such as storms in real time, observing natural events such as volcanic eruptions as they happen, and providing input to ground personnel for programming automated Earth-sensing systems.
NASA has been observing Earth from space for more than 60 years, with cutting-edge scientific technology that can revolutionize our understanding of our home planet and provide benefits to all humanity.

2025年3月5日，国际空间站在距地球263英里的轨道上飞行时，太阳的光芒透过大西洋上空的部分云层闪耀。国际空间站作为一个独特的平台，利用手动和自动化设备对地球进行观测。空间站的宇航员们已经拍摄了数十万张图像，记录了风暴等现象的实时变化，观察了火山喷发等自然事件的发生，并为地面人员提供了编程自动地球观测系统的参考信息。
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）利用最先进的科学技术，已经持续了超过60年从太空观测地球，这些研究极大地推动了人类对地球家园的理解，并为全人类带来了福祉。
