Room with a View: Fantastic view of the Yucatan and British Honduras as photographed by astronauts Gordon Cooper and Pete Conrad during the eight-day mission of Gemini 5 in August 1965. The Gemini Program produced a large number of wonderful views of Earth during the 1965-1966 time period. The photos allowed for some of the earliest study of the Earth from space.
