Now THIS is cool...

So tomorrow is EARTH DAY.... What Better Day For NASA To Air Earth Views From Space?

NASA plans to telecast high-definition views of the Earth from the International Space Station tomorrow in celebration of Earth Day. NASA scientists said the space station and its crew have an exceptional view of the Earth, orbiting the planet once every 90 minutes from an altitude of approximately 220 miles at a speed of about 17,500 mph. That provides the crew with 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. The station has been continuously occupied since November 2000. The special high-definition Earth views can be seen tomorrow from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. [ET]. A schedule of all NASA Earth Day programming, satellite coordinates and other information is available at www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/MM_NTV_Breaking.html.
