Pictures from space
Earthlings live at the bottom of the ocean air. But the ocean, though deeply all these seas, in space standards unimaginably thin. Just a hundred kilometers separating the Earth from the darkness of space, but there are hundreds of beautiful sunsets, and clouds that carry life-giving rain, and deep, seemingly infinite, blue. For half a century the beauty of the earth's atmosphere can be seen from an unusual angle - from space. Circling the Earth in 90 minutes, cosmonauts and astronauts watched 16 sunrises and sunsets every day. On the magnificent pictures taken by them captured these wonderful atmospheric phenomena.

At the edge of night and day. Photographing with a slow shutter speed unlit Sun toward Earth, can detect the glow settlements. This area of the world is waiting for the morning. Dawn is already lit atmosphere.

In this picture captures the silhouette of the space shuttle Endeavour during its rendezvous with the International Space Station. At this time, the orbital outpost was located at an altitude of 300 km above the South Pacific, off the coast of Chile. Orange layer photo - troposphere, the lowest part of the earth's atmosphere. This orange layer is replaced by a whitish stratosphere, which then goes into the mesosphere.
The coast of the Sea of Japan and the DPRK basking in the rays of the rising sun. The picture of the earth in the morning the astronauts working on the International Space Station, see every 1, 5 hours.
Evening Land. When the sun at sunset, objects cast long shadows. However, the shadow of this length, you will hardly find in the world!

Beautiful sunset over South America.
