Fotografieren des Venusgürtels aus der ISS. Weitere Details in Kommentaren.

The Belt of Venus, seen from the ISS. An atmospheric phenomena where the setting sun projects light past Earth’s horizon curve, layered over its shadow. Twilight observers on Earth see a pink band over the approaching dark, opposite the sun. From orbit we see it all at once. I took these images on my first mission to the ISS in 2003. They are old but good visuals of the effect.

I can’t even imagine what seeing that in person would be like. Absolutely incredible

I wonder if this was the inspiration for the Petrova line in Project Hail Mary.
