EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the International Space Station (ISS) and star trails as seen from space. Taken by astronaut Don Pettit during Expedition 31 on May 17th, 2012, this composite image combines several short exposures to create an exposure equivalent to approximately 15 minutes. The circular and concentric patterns formed by the star trails showcase the Earth's rotation against the backdrop of a vast cosmic canvas. The planet itself can be seen at the bottom of the image, its majestic features illuminated by air glow in a stunning shade of green. This photograph is not just a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement but also serves as a reminder of our place within the grandeur of our solar system. It encapsulates both our curiosity about distant celestial bodies and our deep connection with our own home planet. As we gaze upon this remarkable visual masterpiece, we are reminded that even amidst the infinite expanse of space, there is still so much left to explore and discover. This print invites us to contemplate our existence in relation to these celestial wonders while igniting a sense of awe for both science and artistry combined.
