On Earth, we often look toward the sky longing to know what resides in the rest of the universe. 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.
