ISS: Unity, Zarya and Zvezda modules. 09/2000 - ISS: Unity, Zarya and Zvezda modules. 09/2000 - Unity, Zarya and Zvezda modules photographs from the Atlantis shuttle. 18/09/2000 Backdropped against black space above Earth's horizon, the International Space Station (ISS) is seen following its undocking with the Space Shuttle Atlantis. After accomplishing all mission objectives in outfitting the station for the first resident crew, the seven astronauts and cosmonauts undocked at 3:46 GMT on Sept. 18 over Russia near the northeastern portion of the Ukraine. When Atlantis was at a safe distance from the station, about 450 feet, astronaut Scott D. Altman, pilot, performed a 90 - minute, double - loop fly around to enable the crew to document the station's exterior. He fired Atlantis' jets one final time to separate from the station at 5:35 (GMT) September 18 2000

The Netherlands seen from the International Space Station in April 2004. - A picture of The Netherlands as seen from orbit by ESA's Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers, during the DELTA mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in April 2004. Zeeland and the four mouths of Rhine and Maas are on the left. After catastrophic floods in 1953, the Dutch government launched the Delta Plan to protect the populations from such disasters with dams on all the estuaries. Work was completed from 1958 to 1987. The DELTA mission was named in remembrance of this achievement. On the right of the picture are the Frisian islands that surround the Wadden Sea. Clearly visible is the man - made 30 - km dyke that closed the Zuiderzee in 1933 and formed the Ijsell Lake. Other man - made features easily identifiable are the large polygonal polders gained on the southern part of the inner sea. Flevoland and Nordoostpolder appear in beige while Markerwaard (to be completed in 2010) is a bluish green patch

After catastrophic floods in 1953, the Dutch government launched the Delta Plan to protect the populations from such disasters with dams on all the estuaries. Work was completed from 1958 to 1987. The DELTA mission was named in remembrance of this achievement. On the right of the picture are the Frisian islands that surround the Wadden Sea. Clearly visible is the man - made 30 - km dyke that closed the Zuiderzee in 1933 and formed the Ijsell Lake. Other man - made features easily identifiable are the large polygonal polders gained on the southern part of the inner sea. Flevoland and Nordoostpolder appear in beige while Markerwaard (to be completed in 2010) is a bluish green patch

The Apollo 16 Command and Service Modules (CSM), as seen from the Lunar Module (LM, out of view) above terrain on the lunar farside. The two spacecraft had just undocked. The LM and CSM were out of communication at the time of this photograph's exposure, but shortly acquired the signal as they moved separately to Earth's side of the moon. While astronauts John W. Young, commander; and Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, descended in the Apollo 16 LM “” Orion”” to explore the Descartes highlands landing site on the moon, astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot, remained with the CSM “” Casper”” in lunar orbit. 20 April 1972

Sandy Cay - Bahamas - Seabed currents and sandbanks on Sandy Cay and Long Island, Bahamas. Image obtained on 27 November 2010 from the International Space Station (ISS). This astronaut photograph, taken from the International space station on November 27, 2010, provides a view of tidal flats and channels near Sandy Cay, on the western side of Long Island and along the eastern margin of the Great Bahama Bank (North is top). The continuously exposed parts of the island are brown, a result of soil formation and vegetation growth. To the north of Sandy Cay, an off - white tidal flat composed of carbonate sediments is visible; light blue - green regions indicate shallow water on the tidal flat. The tidal flow of seawater is concentrated through gaps in the land surface, leading to the formation of relatively deep channels that cut into the sediments. The channels and areas to the south of the island have a vivid blue color that indicates deeper water

Cananea Copper Mine - Mexico - Cananea Copper Mine - Sonora - Mexico: The Cananea Mine is an open pit copper and gold mine located in Mexico. Its production began in 1899. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on March 3, 2008. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world, the Cananea mine produced over 164,000 tonnes of copper in 2006. The mine is located approximately 40 km south of the border between the USA (Arizona) and Mexico (Sonora). Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. A porphyry - an igneous rock with large crystals in a fine-grained matrix - is formed as the magma cools and crystallizes. While crystallization is occurring, hot fluids can circulate through the magma and surrounding rocks via fractures. This hydrothermal alteration of the rocks typically forms copper-bearing and other minerals. The active, 2 km in dia

Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. A porphyry - an igneous rock with large crystals in a fine-grained matrix - is formed as the magma cools and crystallizes. While crystallization is occurring, hot fluids can circulate through the magma and surrounding rocks via fractures. This hydrothermal alteration of the rocks typically forms copper-bearing and other minerals. The active, 2 km in dia

Tyndall Glacier, Chile - Tyndall Glacier, Chile - The Tyndall Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, observed from the International Space Station in November 2007. Tyndall Glacier is located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which has a total area of 331 square kilometers and a length of 32 kilometers (based on 1996 measurements), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in Lago Geikie. The digital astronaut photograph taken in november 2007 records visible light in red, green, and blue wavelengths (true color). The Tyndall Glacier terminus has retreated significantly during the past 17 years. Significant ice loss was also observed earlier this year at Grey Glacier, about 30 kilometers to the north - northeast, suggesting both glaciers are responding similarly to regional changes in temperature and precipitation. A medial moraine is visible in the center of the glacier, extending along its length (top image, center le
