¿ Astronomy Picture of the Day [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2021 April 1 IFRAME: [2]https://www.youtube.com/embed/B1R3dTdcpSU?rel=0 Rocket Launch as Seen from the Space Station Video Credit: [3]ISAA, [4]NASA, [5]Expedition 57 Crew (ISS); Processing: [6]Riccardo Rossi (ISAA, [7]AstronautiCAST); Music: [8]Inspiring Adventure Cinematic Background by [9]Maryna Explanation: Have you ever seen a rocket launch -- from space? A close inspection of [10]the featured time-lapse video will reveal a rocket rising to Earth orbit as seen from the [11]International Space Station (ISS). The [12]Russian [13]Soyuz-FG rocket was launched in November 2018 from the [14]Baikonur Cosmodrome in [15]Kazakhstan, carrying a [16]Progress MS-10 (also [17]71P) module to bring needed supplies to the ISS. Highlights in the [18]90-second video (condensing about 15-minutes) include city lights and clouds [19]visible on the Earth on the lower left, blue and gold bands of [20]atmospheric airglow running diagonally across the center, and distant stars on the upper right that set behind the Earth. A lower stage can be seen [21]falling back to Earth as the robotic supply ship fires its thrusters and begins to [22]close on the ISS, a [23]space laboratory that [24]celebrated its [25]20th anniversary in 2018. [26]Astronauts who live aboard the [27]Earth-orbiting ISS conduct, among more practical duties, [28]numerous science experiments that expand human knowledge and enable [29]future commercial industry in [30]low Earth orbit.
