Shared on social media, the image quickly gained likes and positive comments, with one individual expressing that they would never want to return to Earth if they saw it in person.
Another described the image as “cosmic strokes on a celestial canvas.”
The photograph follows another striking shot posted by Pettit last week from inside a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule docked at the space station.

Pettit mentions a “star tracker” device that he co-designed and built to capture sharp photos of stars by compensating for the station’s motion.
Since arriving at the ISS, Pettit has been showcasing his photography skills with impressive images of Earth and beyond, including rivers in the Amazon Basin and the launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
He has also participated in Q&A sessions from the ISS and demonstrated unique camera techniques in microgravity.
