The sky on
your birthday.
Moonset, Planet Earth
From the Space Shuttle during the Astro-1 mission in 1990, astronauts photographed this view of the full Moon setting. Below it, towering clouds mark the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. The blue light scattered by the stratosphere above fades into the black of space. It is a stunning perspective of our planet's atmosphere and its celestial neighbor.
