iss069e053745 (August 3, 2023) -- The South Bay Salt Ponds in the city of Newark, California show their vivid red and yellow-orange colors that primarily come from the microorganisms and brine shrimp in the waters. More than 16,500 acres are part of a restoration project— the largest in the West Coast—that includes pollution reduction, habitat expansion, and flood control. Expedition 69 Flight Engineer Woody Hoburg captured this image as the International Space Station orbited 260 miles above the coast of the Bay Area.

iss069e037308 (July 26, 2023) -- Provincetown, Massachusetts is photographed from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above the coast.

iss069e033759 (July 17, 2023) -- As the International Space Station orbited 260 miles above Turkey, NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg captured this image of Lake Tuz—a disappearing lake that was once the second-largest in the country. During some summers, the salt lake completely dries up, leaving the off-white appearance of higher concentrations of salt and minerals. What's left of the lake experiences seasonal color changes due to algae blooms, like the deep red shown near the bottom center of the image.

Jackson NASA Headquarters building in Washington. NASA is working with agencies and researchers across the federal government to help cut the nation’s cancer death rate by at least 50% in the next 25 years, a goal of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative. Alneyadi, Bowen, Rubio, and Hoburg recently returned from missions aboard the International Space Station, a hub for scientific research and technology including demonstrations to help end cancer as we know it.
