A NASA astronaut may have just taken the best photo from space—ever - “During his third stay in orbit, Pettit is absolutely killing it.”

I reflexively hated the light streaks at first, but then I thought about it and realized I’ve never seen the speed of ISS orbit represented in a photo before and that’s kinda cool, especially juxtaposed with the Milky Way detail that was only possible with the very same long exposure that produce the streaks.
Idk. Space usually looks pretty still and tranquil, so having that and a sense of fast movement in the same shot is pretty cool I guess.
“Best ever” though? Hell, what does that even mean? It’s a cool photo, let’s just leave it at that.
