From the vantage point of the ISS, the Moon is positioned in the upper middle portion of the image, surrounded by the vast expanse of black space. The Earth, adorned with its ethereal blue hue, stretches from the bottom left to the top right, showcasing the intricate beauty of our planet as seen from outer space.
The captivating image has garnered widespread attention on social media, amassing over 6.9 lakh views and sparking a flurry of reactions from internet users worldwide. Praising both the caption and the imagery, users expressed their fascination with the mesmerizing view captured by NASA.
Just a few weeks ago, NASA delighted space enthusiasts with another spectacular image captured from the International Space Station, showcasing Earth’s mesmerizing airglow outlining the planet’s horizon with the Moon shining above. Describing the phenomenon of airglow, NASA provided insights into the captivating display of light emitted by atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere, illuminated by day-to-day solar radiation.
