Live Video From the International Space Station

The only pick here that is happening right now. NASA's live page points to this feed for space station views, so whatever is on screen is the planet as it looks at this moment, roughly 250 miles below. The picture here is a NASA photo of the station itself, taken from a Crew Dragon in November 2021, not a frame from the feed. Expect gaps. The station spends part of every orbit in darkness, and NASA notes the video can be interrupted when the station loses its link with the communications network or the onboard cameras are reconfigured. That unpredictability is part of the appeal: nothing is edited, sped up or scored.
