The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) often captures stunning pictures of our universe, which leave space lovers mesmerized. The US space agency’s social media handle is a treasure trove for those who love to watch videos and pictures of Earth and space. Meanwhile, NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic, who has been living on the International Space Station for about four months, recently captured an amazing picture of the moon from over the Pacific Ocean.
See amazing picture of the moon
In this picture you can see the moon setting over the Pacific Ocean. In the caption of the picture, Dominic said, “Went to the Cupola to shoot Tropical Storm Hone near Hawaii, but as we passed the storm, the moon started setting.” The picture that is now going viral shows a beautiful view. Blue color before clouds and Earth’s atmosphere. Giving technical details about the spectacular photo, he wrote, “400mm, ISO 500, 1/20000s shutter speed, f2.8, cropped, denoised.”
People are liking this picture a lot on social media. Dominic is also being praised for this picture.
A few days ago, NASA had released a picture of the moon
Let us tell you that a few days ago, the US space agency shared a picture of the moon rising from a “unique vantage point” inside the International Space Station. That picture was also clicked by Mr Dominic. In the image, a crescent moon is seen above the Earth’s atmosphere. The planet looks like the blue waters of the ocean. “Orange and black layers are visible below the blue horizontal stripe in the center of the image. The crescent is white and looks like the blackness of space,” the US government organization said in the description of the image.
