| Title |
STS-65 Earth observation with Moon in distance taken from Columbia, OV-102 |
| Description |
This photograph demonstrates the stark contrast between a dynamic Earth with its protective atmosphere and heavily cratered Moon with no atmosphere. The Sea of Tranquility, where Neil A. Armstrong first stepped onto the Moon 25 years ago, can been seen as the dark area roughly located at the center of the visible Moon. STS-65 crewmembers captured this view while aboard Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102 during the second International Microgravity Laboratory (IML-2) mission. |
