This is how I frequently find Don Pettit on the Space Station. He loves taking pictures out of the bottom of space station looking at Earth. He takes really nice nighttime images of city lights. Although in this video he is taking some daytime shots.

Timelapse flying by Hurricane Milton today about 2 hours ago. Storm looks bigger but less symmetric than yesterday. 1/2000 sec, f8, 14mm, ISO 500, 0.5 sec interval, 30fps

Looking out the window before going to sleep towards our Houston home. We are down to a double digit number of orbits before head home. 1/500, 14mm, f5, ISO 64

This. Joe is spot on. What a time to be alive . . . the freely available resources online to learn and explore in your free time are amazing. In some of my downtime every week on Earth I keep learning in areas like CAD, programming, imagery, and circuits.

Moonlight illuminates Cairo and the Mediterranean on a mostly clear night. We were up late last night sleep shifting in preparation for undocking and return to Earth in the next few days. Cairo at night is one of my favorite views. I am happy the timing worked out to see it one

A red sprite shoots out above a lightning strike over Central Africa. I was getting setup to take images of Cairo. On the approach across Africa there was a bunch of lightning. Out of 800 or so images there was a red sprite! 50mm, f1.2, 1/10s, ISO 3200, denoised

We had a blast doing this interview together from the cupola. We really enjoyed sharing how we take pictures of the earth and cosmos. I already miss seeing the incredible views of Earth.

Expedition 72 with Crew-8 in thermal infrared (all 11 of us minus me taking the photo). Just before Crew-8 boarded their Dragon spacecraft for return to Earth, I snapped an all-crew photo with our thermal infrared camera. Can you identify the crew? Hint, two are in their SpaceX

Don (Don Pettit) and I decided to demo how spaceships could transfer rocket fuel (AKA propellant) in space using water bottles, water, and Alka-Seltzer . . . what could go wrong?
