The photo was taken at an altitude of 264 miles above the Earth! A crew member captured the sun as its rays flashed over Sharks Bay off the coast of Western Australia. The space station from which this photo was taken travels at 4.76 miles per second, allowing the crew on board to see 16 sunsets and sunrises in a day!

This photo shows what Earth looks like from 10,000 miles away. This image was taken on November 9, 1967, by the Apollo 4 spacecraft as it orbited the Earth. Less than two years later, mankind first set foot on the Moon's surface.

NASA satellites recorded the water in the Hood Canal in Washington, which turned turquoise. The water became such incredible color because of the species of plankton that arrived there. This type of plankton reflects light, giving the impression that the water is glowing.

This photo shows chunks of sea ice drifting in the frigid waters of Fox Basin off Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. During most of the year, the waters of this area are clogged with sea ice, but by late summer, open water usually returns to dominate this part of the Canadian Arctic. Data collected through satellite imagery has allowed scientists to use these observations to study climate change.

When you look at this photo, you once again understand how beautiful our universe is and how many interesting things there are in it that we did not know about and have not seen yet. But we believe that soon we will learn more about the universe. Thank you, NASA.

Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io

Our #JunoMission is turning its gaze to Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io.

Juno is expected to complete nine flybys of the Jovian moon, observing how volcanoes interact with Jupiter's aurorae and magnetosphere. https://t.co/K6YOMDgf2o pic.twitter.com/gU9BUUPvcq
