astrotastic: The Crescent Earth Reflected sunlight glows through the clouds over the far South Pacific. Parts of South America and Antarctica are visible though the clouds. This image was taken from 217,500 miles away, or almost the distance to the Moon. (source) Absolutely gorgeous. I can’t tell you how much I love seeing the water of the oceans reflecting the Sun’s light from so far away - one of my favorite aspects of far-away pictures of Earth.
