Anil Menon Captures Earth and Moon in New Space Time-Lapse

The footage, which features the constellation Orion rising around the 45-second mark, relies on a 15mm lens set to aperture priority with auto ISO. By adjusting the playback speeds, Menon transformed the raw observation into a fluid sequence that has drawn immediate praise from his followers. This is the latest in a series of visual dispatches from the astronaut, who regularly utilizes social media to provide a glimpse into the realities of life in low Earth orbit. The video emphasizes the stark contrast between the bright, curved horizon of the planet and the deep, featureless black of the surrounding vacuum.
