Interesting Facts

The thin blue line seen at the horizon is Earth’s atmosphere, which extends about 10 km / 6.2 miles above the surface.

City lights visible from space are primarily from urban areas, with the brightest clusters indicating major metropolises.

The orange hue during sunrise is caused by Rayleigh scattering, where the atmosphere scatters shorter blue wavelengths, leaving longer red and orange wavelengths to reach our eyes.

Fun Facts

💡 1

During a sunrise from space, astronauts see 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours due to the speed of the International Space Station orbiting Earth.

💡 2

The brightest city lights from space can sometimes be visible even on the dayside of Earth, though they’re usually outshone by the sun.

💡 3

The starry backdrop in this image includes some of the same constellations visible from Earth, but without atmospheric distortion.
