The moon looks majestic in ISS astronaut’s stunning photo
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick recently shared a breathtaking image taken aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
The photo captures a striking view of the moon, which appears large and dominant in the scene, accompanied by clouds hundreds of miles below.
“Went to the cupola to shoot Tropical Storm Hone near Hawaii but right after we passed by the storm the moon started to set,” explained Dominick, who has been on the ISS since March.

Aside from conducting scientific research on the ISS, Dominick is also known for his photography skills. He regularly shares his work with his followers on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing images of Earth, space, and the interior of the space station. He enjoys experimenting with different camera settings and techniques to capture unique shots.
What sets Dominick apart is his willingness to share his photography tips, providing details on how each shot was captured in his posts.
Astronauts often use the Cupola module on the ISS to photograph Earth, as it offers panoramic views of the planet and space. Dominick captured his incredible moon image from the Cupola, a feat also achieved by astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Pesquet shared the extensive planning involved in capturing stunning Earth images from the Cupola, showcasing the dedication and effort required to achieve such results.
