Earth observations taken from Mir Space Station during NASA 7 mission
NASA7-726-049 (May 1998) --- This view of a sunrise was taken as the Russia's Mir Space Station was on a descending track toward Johnston Island, in the central Pacific (18.1 degrees north latitude and 176.6 degrees west longitude). Sunrises and sunsets are seen by the astronauts and cosmonauts approximately every 45 minutes and differ in structure, since the tropopause altitude and atmospheric lamina temperatures vary with time of day, season, and latitude. From accounts by the astronauts, true replication of human vision is not possible using present film. Some have said there are many more layers in the atmosphere than what the film is recording.
