Summary
Sophie Adenot shared a new ISS photo of Mount Vesuvius, taken on Day 103 of Crew-12 as the station passed over Naples.
Less than a minute after spotting Mount Etna, the French ESA astronaut photographed Vesuvius, highlighting its vast crater, summit path and the city spread around it.
Crew-12 — Adenot, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev — arrived in February for a six-month stay aboard the station.
The image came days before the crew briefly sheltered in their Dragon capsule on June 5 during a spacewalk to address a leak on the ISS.
