Really epic image featured on @apod today!

Captured by AJ Smadi from Washington (state), in daytime skies (11:57am) on April 5th — the image shows ISS and the crescent of Venus.

The planning this would have taken to get right — very nice work!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I annotated the rough distances)

Small portion of daytime sky showing a bright crescent which is Venus and a blurry image of the ISS. The distances to both objects are annotated on top of the image.

On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare Gigantic jet from the ISS. These upward directed electrical discharges extend 90-100 km high into the atmosphere.

I processed this image from the RAW file, adjusting the white balance, contrast and noise reduction.

Photograph taken from the International Space Station by astronaut Nichole Ayers, capturing a rare gigantic jet — an upward lightning discharge shooting from a thunderstorm about 90-100 km high into the upper atmosphere. The jet appears as a vivid purple and blue column of light that finely branches out toward the top where it turns into a vivid red color. It's rising from a brightly illuminated cloud top, surrounded by diffuse city lights from Northern Mexico and South Texas. Behind it is the curved limb of Earth with a green band from the airglow layer indicating the edge of the atmosphere. A portion of the space station’s robotic arm is visible in the foreground.
