Summary edit
| Description |
English: This astronaut photograph captures sun-glint, light reflected off of a water surface back towards the observer—on the northern (lower end in this image) and south-eastern (upper) ends of Pyramid Lake. Two large spiral whorls are visible in sun-glint at the northern end, likely the result of wind patterns that disturb the water surface and cause localized variations in the amount of light reflected back to the International Space Station. |
