Sunset or sunrise?

Sunset… or is it sunrise? It is not always easy to tell from the pictures. We could see up to 16 sunrises and sunsets each day as we orbit Earth so fast – if we were looking out the windows all the time. For us what changes is the Space Station passing from the illuminated side of the earth to the shadow, so it’s easy: a sunrise is always in front of us… and a sunset behind. Of course when you just look at your pictures after a few days of taking them, it’s more complicated to remember which is which. :wink:☀:sunrise:. … It is actually a sunrise, bon Dimanche!
L'obscurité environnante est un peu plus profonde, mais finalement un lever de Soleil c'est aussi spectaculaire dans l'espace que sur Terre :)
