    1. When a camera is adjusted to take pictures of the bright Earth and Moon, the much dimmer stars don’t show up in the photo.

  5. Superb pic. I had a small query…. Does ISS have a database of locations worldwide photographed? Or a photo mission that covers a specific location e.g: Mauritius?

    ___ The Radiance of a Life World

    Above a well-formed planet of teeming Life,
    A silvery Orb exquisitely graces Earth’s Night.

    From Beginning, they joined in Life’s song,
    Before the Light of Time’s awakening Dawn.

    Bathed in reflected Sunlight, from Space afar,
    She sheds her gentle light on Man, by a Star.

    Luna teases her beloved of lasting Bond,
    With Time-phases in months, all around

    On special eves, she softly blushes in Face,
    From enveloping shadow of a World’s embrace.

    Endless courtships she has quietly overseen ,
    Above clouds of Lands, in night’s foreseen.

    Her companion forever turns, in lunar time strong,
    Because of her presence, never to wonder alone.

    A Special Pair, this coupled-union in Solar glare:
    The deep Imprint of Life’s genesis is nurtured there.

    In Planetary Realm desolated in history’s veiled past,
    These lovers dance below stars, with embrace to last.

    Around, worlds of barren wonders, magnificent to know,
    Yet, none compare with her – in Earth’s Illuminating Glow!

    – JRC
