It made its first appearance in the medias through the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) – site of NASA – in 2010 September 15. Later in 2013 it appeared again.
Here you can visit this APOD:

International Space Station ISS
The biggest surprise was when it was considered as background for the crew portrait photo of the 28 crew of the International Space Station ISS. Incredible!!!
Another image was finally chosen, but I was very honored to have been considered.
