We get to celebrate new year 16 times today as the International Space Station flies over Earth it takes 90 minutes to do a full orbit. That means that every 24 hours we circle Earth 16 times and pass over some part that is celebrating New Year today. A normal day for us though… Saturday is cleaning day on the Space Station.
Here is a space sunset, seen from the side. Were you looking for a new Smartphone wallpaper? Sunsets from space are abrupt but beautiful. All the colours pass by from dark-blue to bright-red in just a few seconds. All my pictures can be downloaded in high-resolution on my Flickr page! https://www.flickr.com/photos/thom_astro/with/31671055422/
