You see the same effect from a plane, though more faintly. Near the top of the picture, along the curve of the Earth, you can clearly see how thin the atmosphere is, fading from a pale to a deeper blue before disappearing into the black of space\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Second pic is my very first picture from Dragon, with heart-shaped clouds, which I took as a message to spread good vibes. More pictures soon!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Cette photo fait partie d&#8217;une s\u00e9rie publi\u00e9e par Sophie Adenot sur ses r\u00e9seaux sociaux avec la l\u00e9gende:<\/p>\n<p>Jour 032, orbite 0498 \u2013 Ma toute premi\u00e8re photo prise depuis la Cupola\u2026 Comme lorsqu\u2019on voyage en avion, il n\u2019y a parfois que des nuages \u00e0 perte de vue \u2013 \u00e0 ceci pr\u00e8s que nous sommes environ 390 km plus haut qu\u2019un avion de ligne !<\/p>\n<p>La teinte bleut\u00e9e de l\u2019image vient de l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re, qui diffuse davantage les longueurs d\u2019onde courtes comme le bleu et le violet. Le m\u00eame ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne est visible depuis un avion, mais dans une moindre mesure. En haut de l\u2019image, le long de la courbure de la Terre, on voit tr\u00e8s clairement \u00e0 quel point l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re est fine; elle passe de bleu p\u00e2le \u00e0 bleu profond avant de s\u2019effacer dans le noir de l\u2019espace\u2026<\/p>\n<p>La deuxi\u00e8me photo est celle que j\u2019ai prise depuis la capsule Dragon. J\u2019ai vu dans ces nuages en forme de c\u0153ur une invitation \u00e0 vous envoyer des good vibes.
