## Caption

With our sights are set on returning humans to the Moon, thought this would be a perfect post for #spacesaturday! We’re planning new opportunities in lunar orbit in the 2020s that would provide the foundation for human exploration deeper into the solar system. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/2BZOUXp 
This epic shot shows a setting last quarter crescent moon and the thin line of Earth's atmosphere, photographed by an Expedition 24 crew member as the International Space Station passes over central Asia.
