NASA's Crew-12: Home Planet Awe | International Space Station

NASA's Crew-12: Home Planet Awe | International Space Station

Expedition 74 Flight Engineer and European Space Agency Astronaut Sophie Adenot: "Throwback to one of the first pictures of Crew‑12 in space . . . and we were of course looking back at Earth from this orbital vantage point. First‑ and second‑time fliers united in their love for our home planet and their awe at its beauty. We were at a loss for words to describe how stunning Earth is—and how this view made us feel."

"This picture was taken on Saturday, February 14, during the 34 hours SpaceX Dragon Freedom spent chasing the Station before docking."
