This is another different APOD post. The above link will take you to the APOD website where you can get a live view of Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). The cameras that are supplying the incredible view were recently installed and are part of a project where they will be assessing the effects of high energy radiation, which cameras work best, and which camera angles are the most popular.. In total, there are four cameras each pointing in a different direction. With the ISS completing an orbit every 90 minutes, you can see the alternating light and dark side of the Earth every 45 minutes. Although this live feed will be terminated eventually, there may be more projects like this for everyone to take part in.
