Cosmic colors at sunrise; never get tired of seeing what the new day brings

My best sighting of a Starlink satellite "train" from orbit!

Why Conspiracies Thrive on False Confidence🍸 Cocktails & Conspiracies Ep 170 Shane Skwarek and Tim Philipps delve into the Dunning-Kruger effect, exploring how ignorance can lead to overconfidence in understanding complex topics, particularly in the realm of conspiracy

Mount Etna photographed in near infrared. One of the world's most active volcanoes and often seen smoking from orbit.

I took these images on my first mission to the ISS in 2003. They are old but great visuals of the effect.

The Belt of Venus, seen from the ISS. An atmospheric phenomena where the setting sun projects light past Earth's horizon curve, layered over its shadow. Twilight observers on Earth see a pink band over the approaching dark, opposite the sun. From orbit we see it all at once.

Auroras meeting the Milky Way galaxy.

Whenever you see the ISS from Earth, WE aboard the ISS cannot see you! When ISS is exposed in sunlight, our window reflectivity blinds us! We can only see you when you cannot see us! Same effect as how you cannot see through your kitchen window at night when the lights are on!

Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, seen at night from the ISS. A bright light in the dark of the surrounding desert.

Comet C/2023 A3 on atmosphere's edge, as seen from the ISS.

Starlink satellites greeting us with clustered flashes! New and frequent visual phenomena in my orbital star trails, like fireflies caught by long exposure.

The lush Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, when viewed in near-infrared, appears as a highly reflective magenta, characteristic of healthy vegetation.

This image set is a sample of more to come! Comet A3

Our boldest photography project yet! From Above & Below, a mission to photograph the same subjects from Earth and space with National Geographic photographer, Babak Tafreshi. @BabakTafreshi traveled the world while I orbited around it, and together we created this perspective.

The night lights of Phoenix, Arizona form a sprawling grid when seen from space, interrupted only by dark patches of desert and mountains.
