They\u2019re great resolution, so I could then zoom in on the most interesting parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those interesting parts include lightning storms, aurorae, and satellites. The latter present an interesting phenomenon: It appears the solar arrays on the satellites are visible. This seems unlikely, though, as the scale in the image means these arrays would have to be on the order of a kilometer wide, which is not the case. It is possible that the solar array\u2019s appearance may be an optical effect due to Orion\u2019s window.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the new imagery offers yet another stunning view of our world, which is active not just on the surface but in the heavens above.<\/p>\n<p>                  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is incredible.
