Earth Night Colors with Galactic Views | International Space Station

Earth Night Colors with Galactic Views | International Space Station

Expedition 75 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Anil Menon: "Colors at night are beautiful when looking at Earth at night.  Here you can see blues from the squid boats, the bright lights of cities, storms, and the Milky Way, stars, and galaxies rising in the sky. This was shot from the Dragon forward window with 3 second exposures and stitched together into a timelapse. That's what it looks like through the window; just, a little slower."
