What did the astronauts on the International Space Station see when they looked upon the Earth from orbit in 2017? See some of the top Earth observations from the year and download these pics, as chosen by our Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.   Astronauts have used hand-held cameras to photograph the Earth for more than 55 years. Beginning with the Mercury missions in the early 1960s, astronauts have taken more than 1.5 million photographs of the Earth. Today, the International Space Station continues this tradition of Earth observation from human-tended spacecraft. Operational since November 2000, the space station is well suited for documenting Earth features. The orbiting laboratory maintains an altitude of about 250 miles above the Earth, providing an excellent stage for observing most populated areas of the world.

“The film is a coming of age story and it’s dealing with how you become an individual, how you become autonomous from your parents. I think it’s something we all have to go through at various stages in our lives… asking those fundamental questions of where we come from and how much of that past we’ve internalized. In this case, Thelma comes from a religious strict family background and she falls in love with a girl and her parents are very rigid about and conservative. I wanted to make a love story about someone who feels like a freak. I know a lot of people who have gone through that struggle of feeling that the way they felt about love or themselves was not acceptable. I wanted to make a film about a strong young woman who’s grappling with that.” - Joachim Trier, director of Thelma (2017)
