The international space station (ISS) shared magnificent images of outer space on Instagram, where two orbital sunrises from different sides of the world are shown on the same day. It was seen at the time when the curvature of the earth was visible and the orbital sunrise was seen from space.
The earth completes one revolution in 90 minutes when the ISS orbits the earth at a height of 409 km, which makes sixteen sunsets and sunrises every day. The quote on their post says, “Two orbital sunrises from opposite sides of the world on the same day.” The picture shows the Pacific Ocean northeast of New Zealand and southern Brazil, where the earth’s atmosphere is initially illuminating and revealing the clouds above the ocean.
The visuals of the pictures show the beauty of nature and show diversities of hues originating from the sun to the transfixion of the clouds.
It was shared on Instagram 24 hours ago and currently has 57,471 likes and 170 comments. Internet users were praising ISS for clicking these mesmerizing pictures, and many New Zealanders thought it was because of cyclone Gabrielle that hit the north side of the country. Some people questioned why they are not able to see satellites and space junk if it is in space.
This space station is a government organization and the largest modular space station in low Earth orbit, launched in 1988. They enable long-term exploration of space, which benefits the earth and living beings. Although it is a cooperative program between the United States, Russia, Canada, and Japan, according to the European Space Agency.
