ESA Astronaut Captures Mount Vesuvius from the ISS

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot photographed Mount Vesuvius from the International Space Station, offering a striking view of Naples around the crater. The image, credited to ESA/NASA – S. Adenot, was captured during SpaceX Crew-12’s six‑month mission on Day 103 (orbit 1598) of their stay. The crew had briefly sheltered in the Dragon capsule on June 5 during a spacewalk to fix a leak on the station, but Adenot’s Vesuvius shot highlights how volcanoes can appear among Earth’s most beautiful sights from orbit.
