An astronaut has captured an awe-inspiring photo of the Moon setting.
NASA's Matthew Dominick documented the scene from the International Space Station on Saturday, August 24.
The Colorado native had to use a super-fast camera shutter speed of 1/20000s to take the picture.
He explains: "The moon setting over the Pacific. Went to the cupola to shoot Tropical Storm Hone near Hawaii but right after we passed by the storm the moon started to set.
"To give you a sense of how fast the moon sets from our perspective. I kept shooting till the moon was gone. The posted image was shot at 21:34:45 GMT. The last image I have where I can see the moon is 21:34:59 GMT. That is 14 seconds later."
The spaceman has garnered thousands of fans online thanks to his incredible photography
