iss071e177204 (6/10/2024) --- The Earthshine from ISS investigation involves the thorough analysis of photos taken of the Moon from the International Space Station (ISS) at specific points in the lunar cycle to study changes in the Earth’s reflectance of light, or albedo. This photo was taken by NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick in the station’s Cupola. Pictures of the Moon from space can help determine whether the earthshine method for determining Earth’s albedo can benefit from the absence of an atmosphere. Image courtesy of ESA/NASA.
