The moment when your view from the window is the whole planet…

The views from the ISS are such that filters are NOT NEEDED: the radiance of the atmosphere, the Milky Way, thousands of stars and the native Earth below.

All of this is footage from low Earth orbit, where day turns to night 16 times a day.

The footage was captured on camera by NASA astronaut Donald Pettit.

To make this shot, the astrophotographer needed not just a camera and a tripod, but 7 YEARS of STUBBORNNESS and a little luck.

He wasn't hunting for the moon, but for the perfect moment where everything would come together: phase, angle, weather, horizon. And every time — clouds, disruption, bummer.

But on December 15, at 18:57 Italian time, all the factors converged

The moon doesn't just look beautiful at night.

The moon's gravity not only creates tides, it stabilizes the climate of the entire planet. The moon smooths out the axial "shakiness" and thus keeps the climate within a more or less predictable framework.

Without it, we'd be either fried or frozen, like on a shuttle without stabilizers. So the next time you see the full moon, you can mentally thank her for not living in a climate hell.

Astronomers have discovered oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, at a distance of 13.4 billion light-years from Earth.

This means that stars have already managed to be born, flare up and explode just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.

The star swallowed its planet - literally.

A lone giant the size of Jupiter could not escape from the gravitational trap and gradually spiraled into the red-hot bowels of its luminary. A colossal release of gas and dust into space, which astronomers have recorded under the name ZTF SLRN-2020.

It looks like a fantasy, but in the distant future — in five billion years — this could happen to our Solar system. When the Sun starts to die, it will swell up too, and anything that gets too close risks becoming a cosmic breakfast.

Why do meteors glow in different colors?

When a meteor flies into the Earth's atmosphere at breakneck speed, it begins to glow — and for a reason! The color of its glow depends on its chemical composition.

How about fireworks:

— Sodium — gives yellow light;
— Magnesium is white;
— Calcium — purple;
— Iron — yellow-white;
— Copper — green, etc..

The first blooming in space is the orange zinnia.
