[:ja]今週最初の投稿は、ESAが公開した地球を俯瞰した15分のタイムラプス動画です。
This is your planet. Let me take you on a magnificent journey, a 4K time-lapse flight around planet Earth for two complete orbits. https://t.co/APZK9jzsYt Hi-Res download: https://t.co/swjS9Trfg5 #Horizons #timelapse

ISSは11月20日に20周年を迎えました。20年前の1998年11月20日に、最初の構成要素「ザーリャ」（基本機能モジュール）が、カザフスタン共和国のバイコヌール宇宙基地から打ち上げられ、ISSの建設が始まりました。ISSは、地上から約400km上空に建設された巨大な有人実験施設です。1周約90分というスピードで地球の周りを回りながら、実験・研究、地球や天体の観測などを行っています。ISSの主な目的は、宇宙だけの特殊な環境を利用したさまざまな実験や研究を長期間行える場所を確保し、そこで得られた成果を活かして科学・技術をより一層進歩させること、そして、地上の生活や産業に役立てていくことです。
また、こちらはロシアRoscosmosの #ソユーズ MS-08 から宇宙飛行士が撮影した #国際宇宙ステーション #ISS です。

In just under 15 minutes, this clip takes you from Tunisia across Beijing and through Australia in two trips around the world. You can follow the Station’s location using the map at the top right-hand-side of the screen alongside annotations on the photos themselves.
This Nov. 20 marked the 20th anniversary of the ISS, a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, with the first long-term residents arriving in Nov. 2000. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components. The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields.
Also, this is the photo of ISS captured by the crew of #Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft.
