English: This video over the Mediterranean Sea was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. This sequence of shots was taken October 6, 2011 from 22:58:09 to 23:13:15 GMT, on an ascending pass from just west of the Strait of Gilbaltar over the Atlantic Ocean to northern Kazakhstan. The first significant landmark is the Strait of Gibraltar, separating Spain and Morocco. As the pass continues down the Mediterranean Sea, the Balearic Islands stand out nicely contrasted with the water. Next, Corsica and Sardinia stand out before the Italian Peninsula. The pass continues over the northern Balkan Peninsula, with the Black Sea standing out as a dark patch among city lights.
This video also shows the degradation of the nighttime environment because of light pollution affecting many nocturnal species by disturbing their circadian rhythm and hormonal system Français : Cette vidéo de la mer Méditerranée a été prise par l'équipage de l'Expedition 29 à partir de la Station spatiale internationale. Cette séquence date du 6 octobre 2011 22:58:09-23:13:15 GMT, sur un passage allant de juste à l'ouest du détroit de Gilbaltar sur l'océan Atlantique jusqu'au nord du Kazakhstan. Le premier point de repère important est le détroit de Gibraltar, séparant l'Espagne et le Maroc. La station survole ensuite la mer Méditerranée, où les îles Baléares fortement éclairées se démarquent très bien. Ensuite, la Corse et la Sardaigne sont visibles avant la péninsule italienne. Le vol se poursuit vers les Balkans, avec la mer Noire se démarquant comme une tache sombre entourées de halos lumineux urbains. Les villes, zones industrielles et grands axes sont bien visibles. Cette vidéo montre aussi la dégradation de l'environnement nocturne à cause de nuisances lumineuses et de la pollution lumineuse qui affectent de nombreuses espèces nocturnes en troublant leur rythme nycthéméral et leur système hormonal |
