Look at that, the northern lights! Gotta go to scandinavia or alaska to see them

And the great lovecraftian darkness

On another note, is there any archive footage of these NASA pictures of space with insane good quality?

Yes! I think this and the original are available in full resolution. All NASA material published is public domain IIRC

		Yeah, but what is the likelihood of seeing them from those locations? I was checking an aussie thread about this https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9xv617m6 I'm guessing you can find the best spots on a trip to Iceland, Finland, Norway, NZ, Aus

I wish next time they would take the picture with a Phase One instead of a Nikon D5.

		They took a Nikon Z9 as well which was a pretty substantial upgrade! Though I’m unsure what camera this was taken with. https://petapixel.com/2026/04/02/a-nikon-z9-made-it-aboard-t...

Our earth feels so beautiful from above. I hope that all of humans can try to even make it more beautiful and just try our best to remove so much unnecessary stress that we have/give to create a better future for this beautiful lucky planet we are all on, putting aside our differences.

Making this the wallpaper of my device right now :)

		If we could send every politician as a prerequisite for the job, I think it would greatly benefit mankind. It would be far more difficult to make corrupt decisions after seeing our only inhabitable rock against that vast emptiness, or at least one would hope so. I'm always blown away by these photos. I'm sure this is even more spectacular in person. Good idea on the desktop background ;)

Really incredible how apparent the atmosphere can be. I love that you can see both blue sky and northern lights inside the bubble.
