Sunrise from Above the World

06 Sep

On Saturday, Aug. 27, 2011, International Space Station astronaut Ron Garan used a high definition camera to film one of the sixteen sunrises astronauts see each day. This image shows the rising sun as the station flew along a path between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    Oh a wonderful piece of photography! And it really does illustrate how fragile we are on this planet. Just a small blue rock in space, that’s it!

      Welcome back, my friend. Without you and In Every Atom it has been very lonely.

        agreed, it has been very lonely without ‘in every atom’!

    Aww, so sweet of you guys. I am back now. 🙂 This is such a great picture. And I didn’t know that the astronauts see 16 sunrises each day from the ISS. I always learn something new, which I love.
