Description
Español: Fotografía de México en el espacio
  • Esta fotografía fue adquirida el 23 de marzo de 2020, con una cámara digital Nikon D5 con una lente de 16 milímetros y es proporcionada por la Instalación de Observación de la Tierra de la tripulación de EEI Crew y la Unidad de Ciencias de la Tierra y Teledetección, Centro Espacial Johnson. La imagen fue tomada por un miembro de la tripulación de la Expedición 62. La imagen se ha recortado y mejorado para mejorar el contraste, y se han eliminado los artefactos de la lente.
English: Wide-Eyed Over Mexico
  • An astronaut onboard the International Space Station (ISS) took this photograph using a short camera lens, capturing almost all of Mexico in one shot. The wide field of view is framed by the center window of the ISS Cupola module and includes a solar array of the Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
  • This view encompasses most of Mexico's mountain ranges and long coastlines, though details like individual cities and volcanoes are not readily distinguishable. Active volcanoes like Popocatepetl, Colima, and Pico de Orizaba are nestled throughout the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. Mexico City, which is regularly rattled by earthquakes, sits at the foot of Popocatepetl.
  • Different climate zones are broadly visible in the image. On the southern coast facing the Gulf of Mexico, the climate is tropical and wet. Forests and coastal plains appear with a slight green tone. Looking inland, clouds tend to form around the mountains and often shroud tall volcanic peaks. The lighter toned tan-brown terrain of the interior is mostly desert country that stretches north across the U.S.-Mexico border.
