Take a trip around the planet without leaving your chair. These live space cams show Earth from orbit, about 250 miles (400 km) up, as the International Space Station races around the globe at roughly 17,500 mph (28,000 km/h).

Watch oceans, deserts, storms and city lights drift by below. The station circles Earth about every 90 minutes, so you can catch around 16 sunrises and sunsets a day.
