Below is a live feed of what an observer on the International Space Station might see. Two weeks ago, the SpaceX Dragon capsule, an unmanned reusable spacecraft owned by a private American space transportation company, delivered, among other supplies, a High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) system capable of transmitting live views of Earth as the International Space Station orbits the planet. The live feed switches between four cameras all pointed in different directions. The transition into darkness signifies the transition from day into night. This night only lasts 45 minutes because of the International Space Station's short ninety minute orbit.
