ALT NASA's "meatball" insignia, a blue circle with a red swoosh and white letters reading "NASA", set against an image of Earth as seen from space. Though the background is somewhat dim, the planet's curvature and fluffy white clouds can still be seen.

ALT At the center of the image is a nebula on the black background of space. The nebula is comprised of clumpy, red, filamentary clouds. At the center-right of the red clouds is a large cavernous bubble, and at the center of the bubble there is a opaque blueish glow with speckles of stars. At the edges of the bubble, the dust is white. There are several other smaller cavernous bubbles at the top of the nebula. There are thousands of stars that fill the surrounding area outside of the nebula, most of them are yellow or white – at 11 o’clock and 6 o’clock there are extremely bright stars with 8 diffraction spikes. There are also some smaller, red stars and a few disc-shaped galaxies scattered about the image.
ALT The Tian Shan Mountain range in Central Asia. In the top left corner of the image, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft solar array peeks through.
ALT Snow drifts and scattered clouds mix in with the Karakoram Mountain range. Spanning the borders of Pakistan, India and China, the range is one of the world's most geological areas.
