~ 4-5 hours left before the crew of #Orion touches down on Earth again! 🚀

One of the more dangerous parts of the mission, on re-entry the heat shield stands temperatures about half that of the surface of our sun 🥵

I really can't stop looking at this photo - We usually think of space as being entirely empty and dark, but our Sun has a lot of dust around it that we can rarely see. This so called Zodiacal light is giving the moon this eerie backlit glow.

And four people really have been there and witnessed this yesterday, absolutely blows my mind!
