How Earth looks from
above
|
Clockwise from top: The Earth as viewed at evening, night, noon and morning
|
WHILE
browsing sites on Internet, I came across site from where we can see how
our Earth looks like from above. There were various options like viewing
the earth from wide ranging options to choose from satellites, time,
distance, view from sun, view opposite from sun, view from North Pole,
South Pole etc. With some calculations on latitude, longitude and time I
got the pictures of Earth as viewed from 986 km above the earth. These
are Earth as seen in dusk, midnight, dawn and at noon. The site is
www.fourmilab.ch.
If these or any of them
find any merit in putting up on in our esteemed newspaper The Tribune
please consider them. If not I am sending self-addressed envelope so
kindly mail them back to me.
