Another sweet photograph from the International Space Station

By Mona Goldwater
Aerospace Editor

The ISS Expedition Three crew captured the setting sun on a digital still camera, and the thin blue airglow line just at the Earth's horizon. Some of the station's equipment is in silhouette in the foreground. This image is from three days ago. Click on the image to see a much larger one. . .
