Earth Clouds at Sunset: Orbital View | International Space Station

Earth Clouds at Sunset: Orbital View | International Space Station

Expedition 74 flight engineer and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot: "Did you know that we see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day from the Station? They only last a few minutes, but the colors are of an incredible intensity! I photographed this impressive cloud all in volumes at sunset—my gaze was drawn to its magnificent shades of orange . . . Nature is decidedly a talented artist."
