Orbiting more than 300km above the earth, the contrasting colours of Western Australia's northwest coast caught the eye of NASA astronaut Jeff Williams.
Mr Williams snapped a photograph of WA's red northwest coast as he passed over Australia aboard the International Space Station, uploading the picture to Twitter on Wednesday.
"The unique terrain of the northwestern Australian coast," Mr Williams captioned the photograph, which has been shared hundreds of times on social media.
The Space Station has been continuously occupied since November 2000, hurtling above the earth at a speed of 8km a second.
