Time exposure from my third mission to the International Space Station with our Soyuz TMA-03M (left), Progress cargo vehicle (right), forming star trails as straight lines, city streaks across the Earth, lightning flashes breaking the exposure, and red with stratified green atmospheric airglow. Orbital astrophotography can turn space into a canvas, with physics as our brush. Captured with Nikon D3s, 24mm f1.4, ISO 3200, 20 second composite exposures yielding 24 minute total exposure, Expedition 31, 2012.
