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'm currently listening to the remastered version of Soleily's "Renatus" on my phone, and it feels and sounds apt for these breath-stealing outer space shots. Even the thumbnails for its music-only Youtube uploads evoke the same, too!

@coreyspowell this image is rotated by pi radians

@coreyspowell Note that this is 180 rotated relative to the previous one. North is bottom left.
@martinvermeer @coreyspowell both were taken in the same orientation, which you can see at the NASA link. The preview in the post is rotated to the “correct” orientation.

@coreyspowell I like how if we zoom in, it gets really clear that when we see a thin bright line half around the globe in those videos, it's limited to the atmosphere. I had never understood why that happened, until now.
