Thank you!! These are really pretty!

The moonset is amazing! :O
It's really cool how the atmosphere is bending the moon's image just the way water does..

I completely agree that's why I wanted to share. Unfortunatly I think Nespoli is going back down with next navette flight. But I'm happy for him, that was a really nice idea to share with us the beauty of the Earth. It would be great if some other astronaut replaces him in taking pictures
