Space has always attracted the attention of mankind, and in recent years this issue began to gain momentum again. Is it even possible to be indifferent to space? We think not. And for those who still doubt, we selected 8 fabulous photos from the official Instagram account-NASA. Enjoy.

One of the rarest of phenomena, which managed to capture NASA, - it is the passage of the unlit side of the moon above the Earth. Usually we are accustomed to seeing the moon much more light.

One of the beauties of the work on the ISS - is the ability to observe with my own eyes such stunning sunsets. This photography was US astronaut Scott Kelly.

This cluster of young stars filmed the telescope "Hubble". Pictured in the photo are the star at a distance of about 100 light-years from the center of our galaxy. Just imagine how many stars hide themselves in other galaxies of our universe, of which there are many uncounted.

In this case the diameter is 500 times smaller than the Milky Way.
