Reid Wiseman just made a better eclipse photo than you will ever be able to

This is the NIGHT side of our planet with the sun completely behind it. This was likely taken with the crew's Nikon D5 on board. This shot would have been very difficult, if not impossible with Apollo era cameras. I love that ESA/NASA chose to keep it "upside down". The bright light in the lower right is Venus. Can't wait to get a framed version!

Venus casually in the lower right corner, like it belongs there.

I love following the moon trip. I have an orion tattoo on my arm if that tells you anything! Once I get good with my camera... next stop astrophotography!
