Clear skies, full moon, can't lose

 Clear skies, full moon, can't lose :

Look up to the sky to see September's full moon, which reaches peak fullness on Sept. 29. Named the Harvest Moon due to its proximity to September's equinox, this full moon occurs when many crops in the Northern Hemisphere peak, giving farmers more time to bring in their crops before the first frost.⁣

This image was captured aboard the @ISS 269 miles (433 km) over the Indian Ocean. The International Space Station orbits Earth once every 90 minutes, traveling around our planet at 17,500 mph (28,000 km/hour), offering the crew a new perspective on our home. The astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory give us a new understanding of how humans live in space, helping us better prepare for future #Artemis astronauts living on, near, and beyond the Moon.⁣

Image description:

 The image is almost split in two, with the top dominated by black space and a large circular bright golden-white Moon, and the bottom blue and white clouds, separated by the atmosphere in shades of blue.
