Simultaneous sunset and moonset seen from ISS (photo)
The space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, giving the crew a view of a simultaneous sunset and moonset. Here's one shot of a spectacular scene the crew gets treated to about 16 times a day.
For astronaut Ron Garan and the rest of the crew of the International Space Station, this extraordinary view of a simultaneous sunset and moonset is a daily occurrence (this one was captured on July 31). The station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, so the crew gets treated to this scene about 16 times a day.
