Great Gift From Space to The Earth!
To fully enjoy reading this post, listen to Jewel In The Night by Chris Hadfield
So it’s Christmas time once again. While we are waiting for… James Webb Space Telescope to be launched in space, did you ever asked what is one of the biggest gift from space to our beloved Earth? Well, no doubt, it is the chance to look at the different phenomena happening on the planet from the outside. Space is providing a unique observation point, allowing to observe and measure an incredible variety of parameters, very helpful to identify the anomalies that are occurring on the planet, as well as measure their effects and their extent, in order to finally be able to elaborate possible recovery plans.
And what about the post picture? The title is Earthrise and it was taken exactly 53 years ago, on the 24th of December 1968 by William Anders during Apollo 8 mission around the Moon, one of the earliest observation of the Earth from space! It seems that the view of this picture led the ecological movement to raise… What a gift!
So, let’s celebrate Christmas with the awesome gift that space gives every day to the Earth by reading the newly updated “Earth from Space” page of Becoming Spacepolitans blog, Italian version included (“La Terra Dallo Spazio“). I highly reccomend also to listen to the special Season Greetings song linked at the beginning of this post (look a the video too, so… Christmas Time!).
Merry Christmas, budding Spacepolitans!!!
