Stunning view of a full moon setting above Earth's limb, captured during the Astro-1 mission in December 1990. The image shows a layer of clouds in the troposphere, contrasting with the blue stratosphere and the blackness of space. A breathtaking cosmic scene reminiscent of Ansel Adams' famous "Moonrise."
