Earth Observation
ISS040-E-012007 (14 June 2014) --- A waning gibbous moon is the central focus of this image taken by one of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station while the outpost was flying at an altitude of 219 nautical miles above eastern Europe. This image and the adjacent photograph (frame no. ISS04e012006) were taken only seconds apart but the moon appears larger in this frame because a 160mm focal length was used for this image and an 80mm lens was utilized for the other one.
