PIX4674923: Sprite and Thunderstorm seen from Space - Red Sprites and Thunderstorm seen from space: A sprite (upper left, in the atmosphere) seen from the International Space Station (ISS) in August 2015. This electric discharge rises 100 km above the surface of the Earth - The Moon is the bright spot in the sky, to the right of the sprite. Lights from Dallas, Texas appear in the foreground - This photo shows the spring's tendrils reaching as much as 100 kilometers above Earth's surface. Sprites are major electrical discharges, but they are not lightning in the usual sense. Instead, they are a cold plasma phenomenon without the extremely hot temperatures of lightning that we see underneath thunderstorms. Red sprites are more like the discharge of a fluorescent tube. Bursts of sprite energy are thought to occur during most large thunderstorm events. They were first photographed in 1989 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4675392: Earth's atmosphere and setting sun - Earth's atmosphere and setting sun - Earth's atmosphere seen at sunset from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 25, 2010. This spectacular image of sunset on the Indian Ocean was taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The image presents an edge - on, or limb view, of the Earth's atmosphere as seen from orbit. The Earth's curvature is visible along the horizon line, or limb, that extends across the image from center left to lower right. Above the darkened surface of the Earth, a brilliant sequence of colors roughly denotes several layers of the atmosphere. Deep oranges and yellows appear in the troposphere, which extends from the Earth's surface to 6 - 20 km high. This layer contains over 80 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all of the water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. Several dark cloud layers are visible within this layer. Variations in the colors are due mainly to varying concentrations of either clouds or aerosols (airborne particles or droplets). The pink to white region above the clouds appears to be the stratosphere; this atmospheric layer generally has little or no clouds and extends up to approximately 50 km above the Earth's surface. Above the stratosphere, blue layers mark the upper atmosphere (including the mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere) as it gradually fades into the blackness of outer space. The ISS was located over the southern Indian Ocean when this picture was taken, with the astronaut observer looking towards the west. Astronauts aboard the ISS see 16 sunrises and sunsets per day due to their high orbital velocity (greater than 28,000 km per hour). The multiple chances for photography are fortunate, as at that speed each sunrise or sunset event only lasts a few seconds. This astronaut photograph was acquired on May 25, 2010 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4675492: Argyle Diamond Mine - Australia - Argyle Diamond Mine - Australia: The Argyle Diamond Mine is a mine located in the Eastern Kimberley region of northern Australia. It is the largest diamond mine in the world in volume terms, although due to the low proportion of quality diamonds, it is not a leader in value. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on 22 June 2006. The Argyle Diamond Mine is a diamond mine located in the East Kimberley region in the remote north of Western Australia. Argyle is the largest diamond producer in the world by volume, although due to the low proportion of gemquality diamonds it is set to close by 2020.

PIX4675760: Glacier Viedma, Argentina - Viedma Glacier in Argentina - The Viedma Glacier in Argentina, observed from the International Space Station on January 10, 2004. This detailed view was taken with an 800 mm lens from the International Space Station on 10 January, 2004. The image shows the lower end of the Viedma Glacier that flows into Lake Viedma, one of three major glacially formed lakes on the Patagonian side of the southern Andean ice sheet, at 50 degrees South. The image reveals the slender dark lines of rock material (moraine) which is carried in the slowly flowing ice. Lighter lines at right angles are patterns of crevasse. The glacier diverges into two lakes where calved icebergs can be seen floating in the lakes. The glacier here is about 1.8 km wide / Bridgeman Images

PIX4675872: Deforestation in Brazil - 2000 - Deforestation in Brazil - 2000 - View of deforestation in Rondonia, one of the Brazilian states where deforestation is the most intensive. In 1978, deforestation covered 4200 square km of the state, in 1988 about 30,000 square km and in 2003 about 67,000 square km. Image obtained by Terra satellite on 30 July 2000. The Amazon forest appears in green, the areas deforested in light colours. The state of Rondonia in western Brazil is one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state's original 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres, an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas) has been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest - - an area larger than the state of West Virginia - - had been cleared. Here is a satellite image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite taken on July 30, 2000. Intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pasture, or occasionally, second - growth forest) / Bridgeman Images
