    Our World from a Different Perspective: 10 Great Images of Earth from the Space Station

    Feb. 12, 2016
    Once you see these NASA images from the International Space Station, you will have a different perspective about life on Earth

    NASA’s recent announcement that the gravitational waves Albert Einstein predicted as part of his general theory of relativity a century ago  got me thinking about massive the universe really is. It also encouraged me to check out what’s happening on the Space Station. Over the past year, Astronaut Scott Kelly and the other folks on the Space Station have been sending back some awesome photos of Mother Earth for us all to see and I have collected some of best in this gallery.

    One of the more interesting experiments NASA is conducting during Kelly’s year in space is to see the impact of long-term weightlessness on his body, and comparing any signs of aging or decay to his identical twin, Mark Kelly, who is also an astronaut back here on earth. Check out more amazing images from NASA by clicking here.

    Jim Lucy | Editor-in-Chief of Electrical Wholesaling and Electrical Marketing

    Jim Lucy has been wandering through the electrical market for more than 40 years, most of the time as an editor for Electrical Wholesaling and Electrical Marketing newsletter, and as a contributing writer for EC&M magazine During that time he and the editorial team for the publications have won numerous national awards for their coverage of the electrical business. He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, the first crude prototype malfunctioned and the arc nearly blew him out of his parents' basement.

    Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling  and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted with his wife and three sons in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 30 years.
