Snapshot from space of the Milky Way and Earth posing together beyond the International Space Station.
The Milky Way stretches below the curve of Earth's limb in the scene that also records a faint green airglow.
The galaxy's central bulge appears with starfields cut by dark rifts of obscuring interstellar dust. The picture was taken by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly in 2015 during his one-year mission in space.
