Over the past 20 years, some of the best pictures of Earth have been taken from the International Space Station, as it loops around the world at a height of around 250 miles. But with a new crew of Expedition 64 now having been on board for over a month, there is a new name to add to the list of astronaut photographers who have been showing us distinctive aerial shots of Earth. ISS Flight Engineer Soichi Noguchi is a space veteran - having first done a stint on the space station back in 2009. But now it appears one of his main duties is to take pictures of the world beneath him.
He has already shared a large number of beautiful images on his Twitter feed, and on the official NASA image log. And we have been particularly taken with some of this shots of the world's major cities, including New York, San Francisco and Sydney (as you can see below).
But what is Soichi Noguchi's weapon of choice for taking pictures from Cupola observatory module on the ISS? Turns out that NASA have not yet turned mirrorless, and are sticking with the Nikon D5 DSLRs that it bought a batch of back in 2017. And an astronaut's lens of choice for photographing the world beneath his feet? Well that turns out to be a Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 – a lens more usually seen around the touchlines of the world's sports stadia.
