Mountains snapped from space

http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/178000...imalaya300.jpg

Although this looks like a picture of a typical mountain range
shot from an airplane, this is what the Himalayas look like
out the window the International Space Station.

The picture was taken with a hand-held 35 mm camera
from 230 miles above the earth.

It doesnt look like it was taken SO FAR UP!! -- It does indeed look like someone in an airplane took it!!!

Although it looks as if it was taken from a cruising aeroplane, it was actually snapped by a hand-held 35mm camera looking out of the ISS window at an altitude of 370 kilometres (230 miles) above the Earth.

It's interesting archeology to see how small pictures were back then. Even when you click through to the link, it's a tiny picture.

Dhaulagiri, seventh-highest peak in the world (26,794 ft/8167 m), dominates the skyline in this image taken by the Expedition 1 crew from the International Space Station using a high-magnification lens. Although it looks like a view from a high-altitude airplane, the photograph was taken out of the window of the Space Station from an orbital altitude of 200 nautical miles (370 km).

The pic was taken with a Kodak DCS460 Electronic Still Camera, which is a tad more than your standard 35 mm camera, with an 800 mm focal length.

At the Moar Info link in my post, there is a 3060 x 1919 pixel (downloadable) version of the pic. Other sizes, also.
