Meanwhile, Republicans trying to find the climate change:

Bart Simpson wearing sunglasses and using a white cane

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

They're actually still trying to find the curve.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 33 points 2 months ago

Buckle up, Bible Belt. It's going to be wild.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 months ago

God is mad at them for being so mean to their trans neighbors. It's the only explanation.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

Nah, that's our collective karma for not caring for our habitat.

To quote Red Dwarf:

"All hands on deck, swirly thing alert!"

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

"Red alert!"

"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

A rare Red Dwarf quote in the wild.

You are an individual of quality.

How did they make the earth look like a sphere?

[-] rimu@piefed.social 21 points 2 months ago

Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago

It does, you can capture it with any halfway decent camera so long as it’s backlit by the sun and it’s dark out (and your timing is perfect)

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's only about 250 miles (400 km) high

We're the ones that seeded and birthed it.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Oh boy, that looks big. I'm glad I'm really far away from that and good luck to anyone who isn't as lucky as me, seriously.

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

JFC, almost looks like a still from 2012 or the Day after Tomorrow.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

... Roland Emmerich must be working on the final entry in his trilogy.

[-] Sarie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Trilogy!? There's a second one?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Both 2012 and Day After Tomorrow were at least partially written by and entirely directed by Roland Emmerich!

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

With everything going wrong in the world today, I still live in child-like awe of photos from or of Space.

I'm grateful that I live in an age where I've seen photos from orbit become more and more high resolution. As scary as that hurricane looks, the fidelity of it looks absolutely beautiful.

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Here's hoping it wipes out Mar A Lago. So the dipshit can get his lackies to push relief fund to people who need it and not to Ron I am A Cocksucker Desantis.

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

I hope everyone in the path of this beast survives.

[-] Ramenhunter84@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That hurricane is some galactic level catastrophy boss level destruction about to happen... Lots of people are going to die. Godspeed to those hunkering down.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Take THAT flat-earthers!

No, wait...

[-] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 2 months ago

This is clearly the round earth, they are on the other one

[-] MurphysPaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Its obviously a fish eye lens! Wake up

[-] jj122@lemmings.world 5 points 2 months ago

This would be even cooler with a whole days worth of fly-bys showing the progression of size.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Mother Nature is going to fuck up the Florida Oblast.

Thank you.

That helped me find a non-Twitter link: https://www.sen.com/video/570871d0-340c-475e-af31-26115ff6ed83

But I bet there’s an actual original source somewhere.

[-] alester82@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Sen is the original source. They sent 4K cameras up to the ISS earlier this year, and they’ve been capturing some amazing shots.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Interesting. How did they work out that deal?

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.
