Shining on the Moon🌒🌍

@Astro_Andreas will take 💯's of pictures of the #Moon to help understand Earth's climate!📸

And you can help him out by taking pictures of the new Moon phase and share them with #NewMoonSnap and #Huginn!👨‍🚀

#WhereOnEarth is this? 🔎

I have canoed and kayaked a little in South America, including the Orinoco, Casiquiare, and Rio Negro in Venezuela and the Ucayali and Urubamba rivers in Peru, but never in Columbia. I’m not sure which rivers these are, perhaps the Cauca or Nechi rivers. I love how they curve back on themselves, although I also remember how frustrating it could be to canoe all day and hardly make any distance on the map.

Maybe you could help me figure out where in South America these pictures are from? 🤔

Jeg har tidligere roet i kano og kajak i Sydamerika, herunder Orinoco, Casiquiare og Rio Negro i Venezuela samt Ucayali og Urubamba floderne i Peru, men aldrig i Colombia. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på, hvilke floder det drejer sig om, måske Cauca eller Nechi floderne. Jeg elsker, hvordan de snor tilbage på sig selv, selvom jeg også husker, hvor frustrerende det kunne være at ro hele dagen og næsten ikke bevæge sig nogen afstand på kortet.

Måske kan du hjælpe mig med at finde ud af, hvor i Sydamerika disse billeder er fra? 🤔

This really is amazing, thank you @Astro_Andreas!

The tip of the iceberg

I have to admit that if you had asked me before this mission, if you could see icebergs with your naked eye from space, I would have said, “No way”.

Turns out that you can! We have been seeing lots of icebergs lately in the south Atlantic. Perhaps it’s their distinct geometry or perhaps the contrast in color, but they are very visible from space.

Seeing the icebergs float around reminds me of climate change, with glaciers melting at a rapid pace and rising sea levels. Places like the Maldives will most likely not exist in 70 years from now, having been submerged by the rising ocean.

Toppen af isbjerget

Jeg må indrømme, at hvis du havde spurgt mig før den her mission, om du kunne se isbjerge med det blotte øje fra rummet, ville jeg have sagt, "Slet ikke".

Det viser sig, at det kan du! Vi har set masser af isbjerge for nylig i det sydlige Atlanterhav. Måske er det deres karakteristiske form eller måske kontrasten i farverne, men de er meget synlige fra rummet.

At se isbjergene flyde rundt minder mig om klimaforandringerne vi ser, hvor gletsjere smelter i hurtigt tempo, og vandstanden verden over stiger. Steder som Maldiverne vil sandsynligvis ikke eksistere om 70 år, da de vil være blevet oversvømmet.

RT @Astro_Andreas: Iceberg A23a spotted west of South Georgia!

Unfortunately, it is rather cloudy, so the photos are not the best, but they still show how gigantic iceberg A23a is. It is so large, in fact, that I feel like it is not just an iceberg. Just compare it in size to the South Georgia islands! The iceberg, which is about the size of Puerto Rico, detached from from Antartica in 1986, but stayed mostly in place until 2020, where it started drifting and reached South Georgia in November 2023.

South Georgia has a large population of penguins as well as other sea birds that visit the area. Rats were previously a big problem for the local wildlife since they were an invasive specie brought to the island by humans. After a big eradication project, the island is now free of rats and the wildlife can thrive again.

Isbjerg A23a set vest for South Georgia!

Desværre er det ret overskyet, så billederne er ikke de bedste, men de viser stadig, hvor stort isbjerget A23a er. Det er så stort at jeg faktisk føler, det ikke bare er en isbjerg. Prøv lige at se det i forhold til South Georgia-øerne! Isbjerget, som er en anelse større end Fyn, løsrev sig fra Antarktis i 1986, men blev siddende i det Antarktiske hav indtil 2020, hvor det begyndte at drive og nåede South Georgia i november 2023.

South Georgia har en stor bestand af pingviner og andre søfugle, der besøger området. Rotter var tidligere et stort problem for den lokale dyreliv, da de var en invasiv art bragt til øen af mennesker. Efter et stort udryddelsesprojekt er øen nu fri for rotter, og dyrelivet på øen trives igen. #WhatYouLoveYouWillProtect #EarthFromSpace #Huginn

RT @Astro_Andreas: In one of my final sessions with the Thor-Davis experiment I captured this giant lightning strike that appears to strike between clouds - something that is more common than lightining striking Earth. I had it slowed down a few times so you can really see the scale of it. The "stars" you see in the video are dead pixels in the camera.

Throughout my mission I have have the oppotunity to sit in the Cupola, both for science with the two Thor-Davis and EarthShine experiments thanks to @DTUtweet and @dmidk and in my spare time. It is a marvelous view I have from up here and I have tried to give a taste of it through these posts.

I en af mine sidste gange med Thor-Davis eksperimentet, optog jeg dette kæmpe lyn, der ser ud til at bevæge sig mellem skyerne - noget der er mere almindeligt end lynnedslag, der rammer jorden. Jeg har fået det gjort langsommere, så du virkelig kan se størrelsen af det. De "stjerner" I kan se er døde pixels i kameraet.

Gennem min mission har jeg haft muligheden for at sidde i Cupola, både når jeg skulle udfører videnskab med de to Thor-Davis og EarthShine eksperimenter takket være @DTUtweet og @dmidk, og i min fritid. Det er en fantastisk udsigt, jeg har heroppe, og jeg har prøvet at give jer en smagsprøve på det igennem de her opslag.

RT @Astro_Andreas: Looking back at my Huginn mission, it has been an experience out of this world😉 A dream come true, where I got to live and work on the International Space Station for more than 6 months, conducting science from Denmark, Europe, and the world, in areas like our immune system, water filtration, virtual reality and how we sleep on the Space Station.

I also used many hours of my sparetime in Cupola, taking marvelous pictures of Earth and seeing our blue planet as one. From green forests, sandy deserts and more volcanoes that I can count, each picture shows what our place in the universe has to offer.

Here is a little collection of my work and incredible views from the Space Station.

Når jeg ser tilbage på min Huginn mission, har det været en oplevelse ud over denne verden😉 En drøm der gik i opfyldelse, hvor jeg fik lov til at leve og arbejde på den Internationale Rumstation i mere end 6 måneder. Her udførte jeg videnskab fra Danmark, Europa, og verden, indenfor vores immunsystem, vandfiltrering, virtuel virkelighed og hvordan vi sover på Rumstationen for at nævne et par stykker

Jeg brugte også mange timer af min fritid i Cupola, hvor jeg tog fantastiske billeder af Jorden - herfra er det tydeligt at der kun er én blå planet vores. Fra grønne skove, sandørkener og flere vulkaner, end jeg kan tælle, viser hvert billede, hvad vores plads i universet har at byde på.

Her er en lille samling fra mit arbejde og de utrolige udsigter fra Rumstationen.
