Today’s Video of the Day from NASA Science News features the Window Observational Research Facility on the International Space Station (ISS), also known as the WORF, which is a large window that enables scientists to take high resolution images of our planet.

Earth scientist Mario Runco, who conceived the WORF with his colleagues Dr. Dean Eppler and Dr. Karen Scott, is proud of sharing his experience aboard the ISS with everyone back on Earth.

The WORF was launched on the Space Shuttle Discovery to the ISS in 2010.
