Look at the earth from the perspective of space, and look for your peace from the breathtaking beauty.

From the favorable observation position on the earth's surface, the earth sometimes doesn't look like the earth, but we do live in a magical and gorgeous world. The earth is unique. So far, scientists have discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets in a wider galaxy, but none of them are exactly the same as the Earth.

Unfortunately, most people have no chance to explore the world beyond the earth. Fortunately, human space exploration is developing constantly, which allows us to get rid of the limitations of our vision and enjoy this beautiful blue planet. Look, it shines in the dark space.

When the astronauts looked back from above the earth, they said that they had overlooked the magnificent earth with their own eyes, and their emotions were surging and their cognition changed. They are very surprised at the world where human beings live in the same place, and the efforts and disputes that human beings have made to survive, that is, all human beings are closely related and share weal and woe.

This is the so-called "total view effect". Although photos and videos taken from space can't capture the whole picture of the earth, staring at our planet from an unusual angle can bring a wonderful comfort and tranquility.

The video above is a collection of night scenes of the earth, which was taken by the camera installed on the International Space Station (ISS) when it flew over the earth at night.

Overlooking the orbit about 408 kilometers (254 miles) high, you can see the flashing lights of the city and the lightning passing through the sea of clouds. This is a green light, like a failed shell across the horizon. This phenomenon is called "gas glow" and is produced by atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere. These atoms and molecules are influenced by the sun and release excess energy in the form of light.

The gas glow is similar to the aurora, but not the same (you can see it in the second part of the video). Aurora is produced by the interaction between solar wind and charged particles in the earth's magnetosphere. These charged particles fall into the ionosphere, collide with gas and transfer energy. These energies are also emitted in the form of light.

On earth, we can see the ups and downs of many celestial bodies. In the morning, the sun rises. At night, branches on the moon. If you know the correct observation position, you can also see the rise of other planets, such as Venus and Mars. If you are on the moon, you will also see a scene that will not appear on the earth-the earth rises.

Through the above video, we enjoyed the scene of satellite Selena orbiting the moon launched by Japan Space Agency on June 7, 2007. Its orbit around the moon is about 100 km (60 miles) high. During this period, the satellite collected detailed geological and altitude data on the moon, so that we can better understand the Earth satellite.

But it is also equipped with a high-definition camera, so that we can see the view of the earth from the perspective of selena.

The video above is a bit surreal. The video consists of a series of still photos, which were taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at1July 5160,000 km (10,000 miles).

The video not only shows the dazzling and clear image of the earth under sufficient illumination, but also shows the back of the moon that has never been seen on the earth. Influenced by the tides, the moon always faces our same side.

The back of the moon-not the dark side you see-looks different. There is no dark basalt volcanic plain on the back, which is more rugged. This may be because the crust near the ground is much thinner, and volcanoes can erupt and overflow the crater.

At present, it is not clear why the difference between the two sides of the moon is huge-it may be affected by the gravity of the earth-but scientists are trying to find the answer.

We don't look so small and fragile, do we? Yes, that's not another star. This is the earth and the moon. This is what the Cassini spacecraft saw on July 9, 2065438/KLOC-0, 500 million kilometers (900 million miles) from Saturn/KLOC-0.

More famous color images show that the earth protrudes from Saturn's huge halo, while Mars and Venus are on the other side of Saturn. This is a great photo, showing the size, scope and open space of the solar system to the fullest.

But this less complicated image is also very special. Because it shows us how dazzling our precious home is.
