Earthlings live in the bottom of the ocean air. But this ocean, though deeper than all these seas, in space standards incredibly thin. Just a hundred kilometers separates the earth from the darkness of space, but in this there are hundreds of beautiful sunsets and clouds, carrying 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, the cosmonauts and astronauts are watching sunrises and sunsets 16 times a day. On the gorgeous pictures taken by them were sealed these beautiful atmospheric phenomena.Evening Land. When the sun at sunset, objects cast long shadows. However, the shadow of that length you can hardly find on Earth! Beautiful sunset over South America. "... The Sun Also Rises." Beautiful morning on board the ISS.
