The night lights of Phoenix, Arizona form a sprawling grid when seen from space, interrupted only by dark patches of desert and mountains.
Red auroras of this size and vibrancy are rare, occurring 2-3 times during a six month mission to the International Space Station.
My orbital workbench, assembling a nighttime camera system.
My best photo of the SpaceX Starship flight 6 launch! The ISS happened to be overhead at the perfect time.
The green lures of fishing fleets crowd the edges of streaking city lights above Southeast Asia.
Two space suits in the airlock
Starlink satellites flashing across the Milky Way.
Mexico City seen at night from the ISS. Always distinguishable by the dark patch of Lake Texcoco, and connected airport runway extending into the city center.
Dragon orbiting across Europe into Asia.
Sunglint reflected across branching waterways, photographed in infrared from orbit and converted to black and white.
Prominent sand dunes in the Erg Chebbi region of Morocco.
Space station streaking across the multicolored nighttime lights of Southeast Asia.
Tools of the astro-photog trade. When on @Space_Station it is handy to have a few cameras. I like to park my cameras by the cable release, like a helium balloon floating on a string.
Dallas and Fort Worth cities, photographed from the ISS.
Sit back and enjoy this smooth ISS pass between green and red auroras, and the stars of deep space. This video was taken by my crewmate Butch Wilmore on Expedition 72. His extended stay gave us lots of time to collaborate on photography!
Ganges river delta, over India and Bangladesh, photographed in near-infrared from the ISS. It is the largest river delta on Earth.
Above the shadows of the Pyramids of Giza.
Star trail exposure from the ISS, marked by the thick white path of the Moon, Starlink satellites flashing far right, golden city lights streaking across Earth, and arcing stars.
