BEAUTY OF SPACE--On Feb. 1, 2014, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi
Wakata tweeted this view of a crescent moon rising and the cusp of Earth's
atmosphere. Distinct colors are visible because the dominant gases and
particles in each layer of the atmosphere act as prisms, filtering out certain
colors of light.
