Aboard the International Space Station in May 2012, Expedition 31 astronaut Don Pettit opened the shutters covering the cupola observation windows in time to watch the moon rise. The time-lapse scene was photographed from the airlock of the Station's Russian segment.

Uncovering the Veil (Nebula)
NASA Image of the Day | 2012 June 12

The Veil Nebula, left behind by the explosion of a massive star thousands of years ago, is one of the largest and most spectacular supernova remnants in the sky.

The image was taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in November 1994 and August 1997.
