Meanwhile, Republicans trying to find the climate change:

They're actually still trying to find the curve.

Buckle up, Bible Belt. It's going to be wild.

God is mad at them for being so mean to their trans neighbors. It's the only explanation.

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

Nah, that's our collective karma for not caring for our habitat.

To quote Red Dwarf:

"All hands on deck, swirly thing alert!"

[–] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

"Red alert!"

"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

A rare Red Dwarf quote in the wild.

You are an individual of quality.

How did they make the earth look like a sphere?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago

It does, you can capture it with any halfway decent camera so long as it’s backlit by the sun and it’s dark out (and your timing is perfect)

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

It's only about 250 miles (400 km) high

We're the ones that seeded and birthed it.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Oh boy, that looks big. I'm glad I'm really far away from that and good luck to anyone who isn't as lucky as me, seriously.

With everything going wrong in the world today, I still live in child-like awe of photos from or of Space.

I'm grateful that I live in an age where I've seen photos from orbit become more and more high resolution. As scary as that hurricane looks, the fidelity of it looks absolutely beautiful.

Here's hoping it wipes out Mar A Lago. So the dipshit can get his lackies to push relief fund to people who need it and not to Ron I am A Cocksucker Desantis.

[–] Charlatan@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

I hope everyone in the path of this beast survives.

[–] Ramenhunter84@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

That hurricane is some galactic level catastrophy boss level destruction about to happen... Lots of people are going to die. Godspeed to those hunkering down.

[–] jj122@lemmings.world 5 points 10 months ago

This would be even cooler with a whole days worth of fly-bys showing the progression of size.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Take THAT flat-earthers!

No, wait...

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 10 months ago

This is clearly the round earth, they are on the other one

[–] MurphysPaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Its obviously a fish eye lens! Wake up

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Mother Nature is going to fuck up the Florida Oblast.

Thank you.

That helped me find a non-Twitter link: https://www.sen.com/video/570871d0-340c-475e-af31-26115ff6ed83

But I bet there’s an actual original source somewhere.

[–] alester82@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sen is the original source. They sent 4K cameras up to the ISS earlier this year, and they’ve been capturing some amazing shots.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Interesting. How did they work out that deal?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.
