The International Space Station is orbiting the Earth at a speed of 27,600 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 415 kilometers.

Seven astronauts currently live on the station, and over the past few months, members of Missions 67 and 68 have captured some impressive images of the planet from the unique perspective of the ISS.

Hurricanes, ocean waves, rivers and cities at night open up a side in front of the lens, visible only to space travelers.
