The best view is to be had at the Hayden Planetarium in New York, part of the new Rose Centre for Earth and Space, which opened in February.
She graduated with a first-class degree in earth and space sciences from UCL, studied under Seymour for her PhD, and went on to forge her own career as a research fellow and most recently as a university lecturer.
As we were leaving the museum through the Rose Center for Earth and Space, past stunning images of the Apollo astronauts working on the surface of the moon, I asked her, for the record, why she'd never felt the urge to visit before.
Even as NASA's budget has decreased by approximately 15 percent in constant dollars since 1993, we have made provision for several important new initiatives to maintain the delicate balance between human space flight, earth and space science, and advanced aeronautics and space transportation technology.
WHITEHOUSE: Jacob J. Lew Testimony to House Science Committee, 08/06/1998 | The White House
As OMB previously indicated in our statement for the record for this Committee's May 6 hearing, if additional resources are warranted for Station development, the Administration intends to look first for offsets within NASA while protecting Administration priorities in space and earth science, advanced space transportation, and aviation safety research.

However, since Ares I is capable only of reaching low Earth orbit and the space station is the only habitable thing in low Earth orbit, Ares I by itself would be a road to nowhere.
Materials such as platinum and rare earth elements are crucial to electronics, increasingly scarce on Earth and abundant in space.

The Geomagnetic pole is the north end of the axis of the geomagnetic field which surrounds the Earth and extends into space as the magnetosphere.
Contestants will be tasked to work with different sets of imagery from NASA's lab on earth and on the Space Station, as well as in a simulator.
ENGADGET: NASA announces competition to improve Robonaut's sight
The blog posts and photos afford readers a glimpse of life on the massive orbiting outpost, and by shining a light on Earth from space, Garan and his colleagues hope to mobilize people to improve the conditions on our fragile planet.
The spaceship, which will carry six passengers and be based in New Mexico, will be hoisted by a carrier craft to 50, 000 feet before blasting on its own to suborbit, where passengers will float weightless about the cabin and see space and the Earth through large windows.
CNN: Private space pioneers: We're inheritors of Apollo legacy
Smarr wants to strengthen those connections to create a dynamic global computer--a kind of Ubiquinet, if you will--by adding millions of sensors on Earth, in space and even inside us to provide a rich and continuous information flow.
"If the Wright brothers were starting out today they'd never get off the ground, " fumes Ky Michaelson, who spent two years dickering with bureaucrats at an offshoot of the FAA to get a license to launch to 390, 000 feet, well past the boundary zone between the Earth's atmosphere and space.
On May 28, 1959 a rhesus monkey named Able and a squirrel monkey named Miss Baker blasted off on an American Jupiter missile and became the first primates to successfully travel into space and return to Earth alive.
The moon is also spinning, as it rotates around the earth, covering a mile in less than two seconds even as the earth spins madly and jets through space.
This precipitous decline in the quantity of Earth science and applications observations from space undertaken by the United States reinforces the conclusion in the decadal survey and its predecessor, the 2005 interim report (NRC, 2005), which declared that the U.S. system of environmental satellites is at risk of collapse.
One answer might be that the two impacts were, in effect, simultaneous that the objects which created Shiva and Chicxulub were the daughters of a comet that had broken up in space and hit the Earth a few hours apart, as the pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in 1994.
The satellite launched by Seoul is designed to analyze weather data, measure radiation in space, gauges distances on earth and test how effectively South Korean-made devices installed on the satellite operate in space.
At the same time, the agency is working with its industry contractors to develop a heavy-lift rocket and space capsule to take Americans beyond Earth orbit to an asteroid and ultimately Mars.
MSN: NASA names space shuttle veteran as new chief astronaut
Using the power and data transmission capabilities of the International Space Station, AMS is circling Earth and sifting through matter, antimatter and other particles that are yet to be confirmed, 365 days a year.
ENGADGET: AMS detects excess of positrons, could suggest existence of dark matter
With its superior lift capability, the SLS will expand our reach in the solar system and allow us to explore cis-lunar space, near-Earth asteroids, Mars and its moons and beyond.
The committee found that the number of NASA and NOAA Earth observing instruments in space is likely to decline to as little as 25 percent of the current number by 2020.
At present, British government policy specifically bars any public programmes connected with human spaceflight, and it has directed that any monies instead go towards the robotic exploration of space - for example in Earth observation and unmanned planetary probes.
An example of Mass Effect ending with deus ex machina would be: the Reapers win the battle of Earth and are seemingly unstoppable, suddenly, and with no previous justification, an even more advanced race emerges from deep space and destroys the Reapers, saving Earth.
FORBES: Story-Telling In Video Games And The Mass Effect 3 Ending
He will be speaking about space flight, space exploration, space science and technology, environmental stewardship and educational awareness as it relates to seeing the Earth from Space.
ENGADGET: UrtheCast to stream live HD footage of Earth from ISS, like Stickam for space
At his first news briefing in Houston, Texas, where the astronaut is undergoing rehabilitation, Cmdr Hadfield described the physical sensations of being in space and landing on Earth.
Right now, though, one of the high tech toilets - the one built in Russia - is orbiting the Earth on the international space station, and, as NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce reports, it's partially broken.
The Curiosity rover discovered that the chemistry of ancient Mars could have supported simple microbes more than three billion years ago, about the time that life first arose on Earth, scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Tuesday.
The only reason a storm-driven catastrophe has not already occurred is that the vast majority of solar disturbances do not affect the area of space around the Earth, and even when they do the induced charges tend to be generated in areas where there is only modest electrical infrastructure.
FORBES: Intelligence Community Warns Solar Storms Could Collapse Electric Grid
The basic concept is the same as that underpinning the "white roads" idea -- the development of a technology that can reflect a proportion of the sun's radiation away from the earth's surface and back out into space, thereby cooling the atmosphere and slowing, or even reversing the damaging effects of global climate change.
