Summary

Description
Français : Gloire (phénomène optique) vue depuis la station spatiale internationale et photographiée le 14 septembre par l'astronaute allemand Alexander Gerst.
English: Glory (optical phenomenon) seen from the international space station and photographed on 14 September by German astronaut Alexander Gerst.
  • Surprised to see a pilot's glory from the International Space Station. This optical phenomenon is often visible from airplanes, or when on a volcano looking down into a foggy crater with the sun in the back. Our shadow is (theoretically) right in the middle of the rainbow, but we don't have a core shadow due to our altitude.
Deutsch: Glorie, gesehen von der Internationalen Raumstation und fotografiert von Alexander Gerst
  • Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer. War erstaunt, diese Glorie zu sehen, ein optischer Effekt in den Wolken, den man vom Flugzeug aus oft beobachten kann. Unser Schatten ist (theoretisch) genau in der Mitte des Regenbogens, aber durch unsere 400 km Flughöhe haben wir keinen Kernschatten.
