Have you seen any shooting stars lately? We’re in the midst of the Lyrid Meteor shower, and I was lucky enough to photograph some from the @Space_Station cupola. The Lyrids are an annual event best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere by looking toward the constellation Lyra in the east, peaking on April 21-22 this year. So, keep your eyes to the sky, and you just might see us on the ISS pass by as well!
Image: 3-second exposure (thus the streaks of city lights on the right of the image), with a meteor appearing as a streak on the left side of image, under the horizon

Earth has two crowns - both auroral ovals were imaged by the Artemis II crew today, pretty amazing to see this perspective.
Here I have zoomed in on both auroral ovals so you can see more clearly the green emissions extending around 100 km into our thermosphere/ionosphere.
That's us! 🌍
The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad.
I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

When seen at night from space, Southeast Asia looks like the most colorful and vibrant place on Earth. This timelapse is a rainbow of fishing boats, multi-spectrum city lights, thunderstorms, offshore platforms, and fires.

Mount Etna photographed in near infrared. One of the world's most active volcanoes and often seen smoking from orbit.
