Summary

Description

Mir and the Moon, two satellites of the Earth :While orbiting the planet during their June 1998 mission, the crew of the Space Shuttle Discovery photographed this view of two moons of Earth. Thick storm clouds are visible in the lovely blue planet's nurturing atmosphere and, what was then Earth's largest artificial moon, the spindly Russian Mir Space Station can be seen above the planet's limb. The bright spot to the right of Mir is Earth's very large natural satellite, The Moon. The Mir orbited planet Earth once every 90 minutes about 200 miles above the planet's surface or about 4,000 miles from Earth's center. The Moon orbits once every 28 days at a distance of about 250,000 miles from the center of the Earth.

Türkçe: Mir ve Ay, Dünya'nın iki uydusu. Fotoğraf, Discovery uzay mekiği tayfası tarafından Haziran 1998'deki bir görevleri esnasında çekilmiştir. Gezegenin atmosferinde kalın fırtına bulutları seçilebilmektedir ve resim çekildiğinde Dünya'nın en büyük yapay uydusu olan Rus yapımı Mir Uzay İstasyonu gezegenin yukarısında görülmektedir. Mir'in sağındaki açık renkli nokta Dünya'nın doğal uydusu Ay'dır. Mir Dünya'nın yüzeyinden yaklaşık 300 km ya da Dünya'nın merkezinden yaklaşık 6500 km uzaklıktaki yörüngesini her 90 dakikada tamamlar. Ay ise Dünya'nın merkezinden yaklaşık 400,000 km uzaklıktaki yörüngesini her 28 günde tamamlar.
