Summary
[edit]DescriptionIss059e046155 lrg South Side of Madagascar from ISS.jpg |
English: The photo was taken using a 58 mm lens while the ISS was above a point on Earth’s surface about 580 kilometers (360 miles) south-southwest of Madagascar. From its southernmost tip to its northern coasts, Madagascar stretches 1,500 kilometers (1,000 miles). When viewed from the ISS altitude of 360 kilometers (225 miles) above Earth’s surface, the horizon is a bit more than 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) away. The whole island is captured, however, the northern end of Madagascar is indistinguishable in the 58 mm shot due to cloud cover and the highly oblique viewing angle. |
