Sunrise

ISS040-E-008351 (8 June 2014) --- During a crew member's typical stay time aboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, he or she will see thousands of sunsets and sunrises aboard the orbital outpost, which moves at 17,500 miles per hour. Not all of them get photographed and not all of the photographed ones are as scenic as this image, photographed by one of the Expedition 40 crew members on June 8, 2014. The image shows the sun in the center of the blue line of atmosphere on the home planet.
