La elegante estructura espiral de la V\u00EDa L\u00E1ctea est\u00E1 dominada por tan solo dos brazos que se extienden desde los extremos de una barra central de estrellas. Con una extensi\u00F3n que abarca m\u00E1s de 100.000 a\u00F1os luz, la Tierra se encuentra situada en uno de los brazos espirales de esta galaxia, m\u00E1s o menos a mitad de camino desde el centro.

A patch of clouds within Earth\u2019s atmosphere glows bright white from a lightning strike below them. The lightning is so bright that it illuminates the space station\u2019s solar panels at the top of the image. Credit: NASA/Kjell Lindgren

The rocket is currently at Launch Pad 39B at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as teams are preparing for a wet dress rehearsal to practice timelines and procedures for the launch of Artemis II. The full Moon glows a pale orange color behind the white Orion spacecraft. The sky is black in the background. Credit: NASA/Brandon Hancock
