Eid Mubarak! 🌙
As the crescent Moon marks the end of Ramadan, millions around the world come together to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. But imagine seeing the Moon like this!
astro_paolo had an extraordinary view from aboard the iss, capturing these breathtaking images of our natural satellite as it rises above Earth’s atmosphere. The atmospheric refraction creates a mesmerising effect, making the Moon appear distorted and squished. Science at its most stunning!
To everyone celebrating, we wish you joy, peace, and prosperity on this special occasion. Eid Mubarak!
