Interior View

Some prefer windows, and these are the best available on board the International Space Station. Taken on January 4, this snapshot from inside the station's large, seven-window Cupola module also shows off a workstation for controlling Canadarm2. Used to grapple visiting cargo vehicles and assist astronauts during spacewalks, the robotic arm is just outside the window at the right. The Cupola itself is attached to the Earth-facing or nadir port of the station's Tranquility module, offering dynamic panoramas of our fair planet. Seen from the station's 90 minute long, 400 kilometer high orbit, Earth's bright limb is in view above center.

January 23rd 1556: Shaanxi earthquake



On this day in 1556 the deadliest earthquake in history, the Shaanxi earthquake, hit Shaanxi province, China. The earthquake killed around 830,000 people, though due to the limited sources from the time this is only an estimate. It struck in the morning of January 23rd, but aftershocks continued for half a year after. The earthquake is believed to have measured about 8.0 on the Richter scale, which is not the strongest on record. However as it triggered landslides and struck in a densely populated area where people lived in artificial Loess caves, the death toll was the highest in history from an earthquake. More than 97 counties in the provinces surrounding Shaanxi were affected, with the city of Huaxian - at the epicentre of the quake - being completely destroyed. An 840km wide area was completely destroyed by the disaster, leveling buildings and killing thousands. The disaster occurred during the Ming Dynasty under the rule of the Jiajing Emperor and thus is sometimes referred to in Chinese sources as the Jiajing Great Earthquake. The Shaanxi earthquake was the deadliest earthquake and third deadliest natural disaster in history.
