Vantage Point

For photographers, being in the right place at the right time can be a matter of luck. Knowing what to do with the time and place is a different matter. Congrats to the space station astronauts who took this shot of Sarychev Peak on Matua Island in the Pacific Ocean northeast of Japan. This shot shows the shockwave of the eruption blowing a hole in the atmospheric clouds.
