Space Station Science Picture of the Day: Orion’s Hazy Feet
Explanation: On January 6, 2003, International Space Station science officer Don Pettit was looking out the window when the constellation Orion rose above Earth’s limb. The picture he took, above, shows something rare: a constellation seen both above and through Earth’s atmosphere–at the same time. Orion’s shoulders are bright and clear against the black of interplanetary space. Orion’s belt is surrounded by a faint hazy-red glow. Orion’s feet are … stuck in the mud?
