What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!

@coreyspowell Thanks for posting this photo and sharing the link! ❤️

Is there some reason why this image has been rotated? The one on the website is oriented differently (see attached image).

The description from NASA website seems to match up with this image, especially the fairly bright "zodiacal light" - a term which I learned today!
