Galaxies in Space
Astronaut Don Pettit captured this view of the Milky Way from the International Space Station, about 400 kilometers above the Pacific Ocean. His camera, with low light and long duration settings, was pointed out the window of a Dragon crew spacecraft. The Earth below is blurred by motion, while the Milky Way extends beyond the limb of our planet.
