Space Station Vista: Planet and Galaxy
Orbiting Earth, the International Space Station offers unique views of our planet and the cosmos. This image shows parts of the station, including its solar panels, at the top. Below is the band of our Milky Way Galaxy, filled with billions of stars and dark dust lanes. The red band of light below the galaxy is airglow, Earth's upper atmosphere emitting light as atoms are energized by sunlight.
