The extra-vehicular activity (EVA) started at 19:45 UT (3:45 p.m. EDT) on the third orbit when White opened his hatch and used the hand-held manuevering oxygen-jet gun to push himself out of the capsule. The EVA started over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii and lasted 23 minutes, ending over the Gulf of Mexico. Initially, White propelled himself to the end of the 8 meter tether and back to the spacecraft three times using the hand-held gun. After the first three minutes the fuel ran out and White manuevered by twisting his body and pulling on the tether.

Surface air is warmed by the Sun-heated ground surface and rises; if sufficient atmospheric moisture is present, water droplets will condense as the air mass encounters cooler air at higher altitudes. The air mass itself also expands and cools as it rises due to decreasing atmospheric pressure, a process known as adiabatic cooling. This type of convection is common in tropical latitudes year-round and during the summer season at higher latitudes.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4542422892_71224f46c8_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">The profile of the atmosphere and a setting sun are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 15 crewmember on the International Space Station on June 3, 2007.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4541789253_c1637a6a06_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">A cyclone is a low-pressure area of winds that spiral inwards. Although tropical storms most often come to mind, these spiraling storms can also form at mid- and high latitudes. Two such cyclones formed in tandem in November 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard NASA’s Terra satellite took this picture on November 20. This image shows the cyclones south of Iceland. Scotland appears in the lower right.

This space first was made possible by the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU, a nitrogen jet propelled backpack. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This stunning orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space.

The extra-vehicular activity (EVA) started at 19:45 UT (3:45 p.m. EDT) on the third orbit when White opened his hatch and used the hand-held manuevering oxygen-jet gun to push himself out of the capsule. The EVA started over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii and lasted 23 minutes, ending over the Gulf of Mexico. Initially, White propelled himself to the end of the 8 meter tether and back to the spacecraft three times using the hand-held gun. After the first three minutes the fuel ran out and White manuevered by twisting his body and pulling on the tether. The photographs were taken by commander James McDivitt 19:54 UT (3:54 p.m. EDT) Over New Mexico [/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2684/4541808597_51c83407fc_o.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon -- the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft -- was recorded Sept. 18, 1977, by NASA's Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth. The Moon is at the top of the picture and beyond the Earth as viewed by Voyager. In the picture are eastern Asia, the western Pacific Ocean and part of the Arctic. Voyager 1 was directly above Mt. Everest (on the night side of the planet at 25 degrees north latitude) when the picture was taken.

Surface air is warmed by the Sun-heated ground surface and rises; if sufficient atmospheric moisture is present, water droplets will condense as the air mass encounters cooler air at higher altitudes. The air mass itself also expands and cools as it rises due to decreasing atmospheric pressure, a process known as adiabatic cooling. This type of convection is common in tropical latitudes year-round and during the summer season at higher latitudes.

Although tropical storms most often come to mind, these spiraling storms can also form at mid- and high latitudes. Two such cyclones formed in tandem in November 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard NASA’s Terra satellite took this picture on November 20. This image shows the cyclones south of Iceland. Scotland appears in the lower right. The larger and perhaps stronger cyclone appears in the east, close to Scotland.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2686/4542418220_feec6b40ab_b.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]This close-up view of the eye of Hurricane Isabel was taken by one of the Expedition 7 crewmembers onboard the International Space Station (ISS). “It is quite interesting to look at storms, said Ed Lu, Expedition 7 science officer. “When you see a large cyclone, you can see the spiral structure, and you can actually see – if there is a hurricane – you actually see the eye of the hurricane. You can look right down into it if you are lucky enough to go right over the top.” [/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4541784127_6e7ec1aff7_b.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]Earths horizon against the blackness of space is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 7 crewmember onboard the International Space Station (ISS) on October 4, 2003 [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2689/4541776583_e7245191a3_b.jpg[/IMG] [/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]Beautiful Earth and NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-71), July 2, 1995 at 11:40:12 GMT As Seen From the Russian Federation Mir Space Station Latitude (LAT): 44.6 · Longitude (LON): 37.0 · Altitude (ALT): 210 Nautical Miles · Sun Azimuth (AZI): 240° · Sun Elevation Angle (ELEV): 57°[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4541768233_a2e71fd4f9_b.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]The thin line of Earth's atmosphere and the setting sun are featured in this image photographed by a crew member on the International Space Station while space shuttle Atlantis (STS-129) remains docked with the station.
