Sunglint on the Alabama River
In this June 26, 2023, photo taken from the International Space Station, sunlight shines off the smooth waters of the Alabama River in a phenomenon known as sunglint. When photographing Earth, astronauts often take advantage of sunglints tendency to increase the contrast between water surfaces and surrounding land surfaces. In the 1960s, the Alabama River 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/image...#nasa #space #news #nasa_earth #nasa_earth_science #nasa_science_activation #nasa_find_your_place #nasa_learning_resources #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_lenticular_galaxies #nasa_missions #nasa_the_universe #nasa_blogs #nasa_organizations #nasa_planetary_science
