This picture of a sunset over the Sahara Desert was taken by the space shuttle crew when the shuttle was at a position over the Sudan near the Red Sea coast. Space shuttle crews see a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes as they circle the Earth at 27,300 kilometers (17,000 miles) per hour, crossing the surface at 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) per second. This picture illustrates the clearly defined bands of color as the sun rises and shines throught the atmosphere. |
