ALT A waxing crescent moon is photographed from the International Space Station during an orbital sunset. A sliver of the lit half of the Moon appears in the center, while most of the near side of the Moon is facing away from the Sun and is in darkness. Above the surface of the Earth, a brilliant sequence of colors roughly denotes several layers of the atmosphere. Deep oranges and yellows appear in the troposphere. A pink white region above the clouds appears to be the lower stratosphere. Above the stratosphere, blue layers likely mark the transition between the middle and upper atmosphere as it gradually fades into the blackness of outer space. (excerpt via NASA, 2021)
