But taking photos in space is not just done for artistic merit, nor is it anything like taking them down here, for a start photographers have to snap at speeds of almost five miles (8km) per second. American Don Pettit is a chemical engineer and NASA astronaut and has created photos during his expeditions aboard the International Space Station (ISS). His first space flight was aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 2002 and he has now spent over a year of his life on the ISS.

His images are part of a scientific log of more than 14 years; as of July 2012 about 1.2 million pictures had been taken. SmugMug Films have just released a video about how Don goes about capturing such breath-taking representations of the Earth. “When you take a timed exposure, the green glow shows up quite vividly,” says Don.

Capital - Living the good life with the super rich

At the intersection of Europe and Asia, the country attracts wealthy visitors from every corner of the globe, said Fischer-Rosenthal. She sends her clients all over the country, but many spend time in Istanbul, the country’s largest city, along with Cappadocia, a luxury location in the centre of the country and Bodrum, a resort town on the nation’s south coast along the Aegean Sea.

Of course, the centuries-rich history is an attraction for the more-cultured wealthy traveller, but Turkey also has a number of high-end restaurants and a “really wonderful nightlife,” said Fischer-Rosenthal. In Bodrum (pictured above), the rich often stay in a Gulet, a Turkish boat that has between three and 12 rooms. From there, the boat, which comes with a crew, will sail around the coastline or into nearby Greece. Capital - Living the good life with the super rich. Earth Pics sur Twitter : "Mont Saint-Michel...

Each day he would walk along the beach, watch the sun go down and undoubtedly contemplate this paradise on Earth. The cultural memory was right, and our scientific surveys were wrong But one day Tanovo’s rival, chief of the volcano Nabukelevu, pushed his mountain up and blocked Tanovo’s view of the sunset. Enraged at this, and robbed of the pacifying effects of his daily meditation, Tanovo wove giant coconut-fibre baskets and began to remove earth from the mountain.

His rival, however, caught Tanovo and chased him away. When geologist Patrick Nunn first heard this myth, it made sense that it described the volcanic eruption of Nabukelevu, with the associated ash falls on other islands in the Kadavu group.
