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 I know nothing about space so please help. If we have a gazillion satellites orbiting why can’t we see any?
@tompsettchris @coreyspowell They're too small. And (at the moment at least) they'e really pretty far apart from each other.
