The International Space Station completes an orbit of our planet every 92 minutes- 16 circumnavigations a day. The ISS is a busy scientific laboratory and Nasa budgets zero time for photographing Earth, but there are dozens of cameras on board and astronauts use them daily. Astronaut Chris Hadfield's final space mission lasted five months, from December 2012 to May 2013. "During the 2,597 orbits of our planet I took about 45,000 photographs," explains Chris. "At first my approach was scattershot, just take as many pictures as possible. As time went on though I began to think of myself as a hunter silently stalking certain shots." Here is a selection of his photographs taken during his stay on the ISS and collected together for a book entitled 'You Are Here: Around the world in 92 minutes'.
You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes by Chris Hadfield published by Macmillan, Hardback ￡20.Picture: Victor Zelentsov
如何俯瞰一座城市的夜景？世界上有极少几个人，他们可以有幸在太空轨道上巡天俯瞰地球上的每一座城市和山川湖海。国际空间站美国宇航员里德-怀斯曼经常在twitter上分享摄影，8月12日他上传了太空中看到的北京夜景，他说，“中国北京是一座特大城市，夜空下很容易辨认出来。”

1 Havana to Washington: On a clear day you can see forever (or at least form Havana to Washington, D.C.).
2 Detroit/Windsor: Detroit, Michigan, right, and Windsor, Ontario—two countries, one river.
3 Pereira Barreto: The area around Perereira Barreto in Brazil, about 400 miles north of S?o Paolo, was originally settled in the 1920s by Japanese immigrants who worked on coffee and sugar planation along the Rio Tietê. But in the 1990s, the river was dammed to create a hydroelectric power plant, flooding and permanently submerging many farms and even a suspension bridge across the Tietê. Today there’s a new bridge, and from this angle, the body of water looks like a millipede.
4 Mauritania The Richat Structure in Mauritania, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, is a landmark for astronauts. If you’ve been busy doing experiments and haven’t looked out the window for a while, it’s hard to know where you are, especially if you’re over a vast 3,600,000-square-mile desert. This bull’s-eye orients you, instantly. Oddly, it appears not to be the scar of a meteorite but a deeply eroded dome, with a rainbow-inspired color scheme.
5 Arica, Chile: A twist of cloud near Arica, Chile. You see these frequently in this part of the world because the Pacific is cold, the land is warm, and the currents and winds combine to form a cloudy vortex—clockwise here, because it’s the southern hemisphere. North of the equator, the spiral would turn counter-clockwise.
6 San Francisco: Much of the densely built-up waterfront around San Francisco sits on landfill, often a blend of rubble and sediment dragged up from the bay. In a major earthquake, landfill is more prone to liquefaction than bedrock: it behaves like a liquid, shaking far more severely, and is more likely to give way altogether.
7 The Himalayas
8 Manhattan: Manhattan awake, 9:23 AM local time Manhattan at rest, 3:45 AM local time
9 Great Salt Lake: Salt from evaporation ponds in Great Salt Lake, Utah, is used to produce a lot of the world’s magnesium metal. The largest saline lake in the western hemisphere attracts pastel-colored algae, brine shrimp and the birds that love them, but so far, just this one lone wolf.
10 Venice, Floating
11 The End: The Nile, draining out into the Mediterranean. The bright lights of Cairo announce the opening of the north-flowing river’s delta, with Jerusalem’s answering high beams to the northeast. This 4,258 mile braid of human life, first navigated end-to-end in 2004, is visible in a single glance from space

22 加拿大宇航员Chris Hadfield最近出了本书，名叫'You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes'(你在这里: 92分钟环游地球)。书中是他2013年在国际空间站俯拍地球的150张照片。其中包括底特律，旧金山，曼哈顿，哈瓦那，威尼斯，毛里塔尼亚，喜马拉雅山，尼罗河等。
