Milky way horizons photographed from the ISS, with a blurring Earth and fixed point stars separated by the rising sun. This photo was taken from the Crew 9 Dragon window and made possible by my homemade star tracker, which allowed stars to be captured as fixed points despite the challenges of orbital speeds.
