Everything the light touches 😍⁣

As an astronaut snapped this photo from the International Space Station (@ISS),
anvil clouds towered over the northeastern coast of Brazil.
Anvil clouds are caused by atmospheric instability and are often accompanied by thunderstorms.
You can distinguish the anvil clouds in this photo from their flat,
wide tops.⁣

captured these cloudscapes from onboard the International Space Station (@iss),
our world-class lab orbiting 250 miles above the Earth’s surface.
Take a moment today to observe the natural beauty of our home planet.⁣⁣

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine!

Our @NASAHubble Space Telescope spotted a galaxy with its mix of bright patches of glowing gas,
dark lanes of dust,
bright core,
and whirling,
pinwheeling arms coming together to paint a beautiful celestial scene.

Located
around 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Antlia (the Air Pump),
this galaxy is a member of galaxy groups -
some of the most common galactic gatherings in the cosmos,
and they comprise 50 or so galaxies all bound together by gravity.
