Good Morning, Earth!
science
NASA astronaut Chris Williams captured this stunning photograph of an orbital sunrise from the International Space Station last week. What makes it remarkable: the space station orbits Earth sixteen times in a single day, which means the astronauts aboard experience sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets in just twenty-four hours. It's a daily reminder of the unique vantage point those orbiting the planet enjoy. The image is part of NASA's ongoing documentation of life and work aboard the orbiting laboratory.
