Crescent Moon Rising and Earth's Atmosphere
On
Feb. 1, 2014, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi
Wakata tweeted this view of a crescent moon rising and the cusp of
Earth's atmosphere. Distinct colors are visible because the dominant
gases and particles in each layer of the atmosphere act as prisms,
filtering out certain colors of light.
