Shooting for the stars... 🌟 NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps used her unique vantage point aboard the ISS to capture the perfect shot: a long-exposure photo of Earth as stars glittered above the atmosphere. Setting the camera’s light sensitivity (ISO) to 3200—a higher sensitivity used to capture more detailed images in low-light conditions—Epps positioned her lens in one of the space station’s many windows and clicked the shutter. What resulted 68 seconds later was a stunning portrait showcasing streaks of city lights across Western Australia, with swirls of stars above Earth’s golden-red atmosphere. Photographs like this show just how quickly the space station—and astronauts aboard—moves as it orbits our home planet: a whopping 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kph). It also gives our NASAAstronauts novel opportunities to try out new camera techniques that may just result in a spectacular view for us to enjoy here on Earth as well.
