As Earth turns, so do we. 🌍 Take a moment to reflect on life as it is at this moment while enjoying this time-lapse from the International Space Station. The iss’s solar arrays reflect auroras and city lights as they align themselves with the Milky Way above for the approaching sunrise. Because the Moon was not in view during the night portions of the crew’s orbits, the main belt of the Milky Way was bright enough for astronaut Matthew Dominick to photograph—with the aurora glowing just before sunrise. NASAAstronauts aboard the International Space Station orbit Earth about once every 90 minutes, which means they have many opportunities to spot sunrises like this from space.
