Meanwhile, 250 miles above our planet, the International Space Station is looking back. Above us, multiple Earth-observing instruments are mounted on the exterior of several of the station s modules, including a limb full of cameras, boxes, and tools that hangs off the edge of the station s Japanese Experiment Module (JEM). Earth-observing CubeSats regularly deploy from the station s airlock. Astronauts take photos of the planet from the orbiting lab s windows. This outpost even conducts Earth science experiments. All of this work provides insight into the climate of our home and how we might prepare for coming changes.
