⚡️ The Earth has a pulse — and satellites help us see it.
This excerpt from the "YOU:MATTER" exhibition at the National Museum of Science and Media shows how everything on the planet is connected — and how space technology makes these connections visible.
Satellites track photosynthesis using the faint glow that plants emit, which helps us understand how actively they absorb carbon dioxide. Together with other data, such as the "greenness" index, this provides scientists with insights into global carbon cycles and the health of the planet.
NASA, NOAA, JPL, and other agencies use these observations to better understand and care for the Earth.

In the Starship video, you can see how the three central Raptor engines change position, moving towards the center immediately after the stage separation.
During the docking process, the engines are initially directed outward to allow the hot gases to dissipate, preventing damage to the booster. Once the docking is complete, the engines return to the center for continued flight.

🌍 Earth from the depths of space.
As spacecraft leave Earth's orbit, they occasionally turn back to capture our planet, a tiny, bright dot in the vastness of space.

🌏 View from the window to the Earth - from orbit.
Look at our planet through the dome of the ISS: golden deserts, dark blue oceans and 16 orbits around the Earth per day.
In the timelapse, the solar panels of the station and the docked ship are visible - a typical day in orbit.
