Moonlight reflected off the Amazon river. At the proper angles in our orbit, we aboard ISS can see brief silvery flashes atop water surfaces, illuminating even the darkest places on Earth. I took this photo with Nikon Z9 camera on Expedition 72, during a nighttime pass over South America. More photos like this from space can be seen on my twitter and Instagram, astro_pettit, for those interested
