Nothing like an orbital sunset :

Orbiting about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth's surface, the International Space Station makes a trip around our home world once every 90 minutes. This means that our astronauts on the @ISS get to experience 16 sunsets—and sunrises—every day they're in space.

This photo was taken on Jan. 18, 2024, during one such orbital sunset, as the station soared over the Pacific Ocean off the northern coast of Japan.

Image description: A faint sliver of the Sun can just be seen peeking above the curvature of the Earth. The planet below it and space above it are both black, but the setting Sun illuminates a thin line in shades ranging from dark blue to burnt orange.
