#PPOD: This amazing photo shows Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji from space. The image was captured by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station on 27 May 2001. Mount Fuji, located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 meters tall. An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo and can be seen from the city on a clear day. Credit: NASA
#PPOD: Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true-color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers) give the moon a dimpled appearance.

#PPOD: This stunning photo was taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. Phobos is the larger and closer of Mars's two moons, the other being Deimos. One hypothesis of their origin involves the possible capture of primitive asteroids. Unfortunately, Phobos is being pulled apart and closer by Mars's tidal forces and gravity. Credit: ESA/DLR/FUBerlin/ @andrealuck CC BY (https://www.flickr.com/photos/192271236@N03/53635851891/)
