Sunrise from space...
|
Caption NASA originale:"Sunrise seen from low Earth orbit by the shuttle astronauts can be very dramatic indeed. In this view, the Sun is just visible peaking over towering anvil-shaped storm clouds whose silhouetted tops mark the upper boundary of the troposphere, the lowest layer of planet Earth's atmosphere. Sunlight filtering through suspended dust causes this dense layer of air to appear red. In contrast, the blue stripe marks the stratosphere, the tenuous upper atmosphere, which preferentially scatters blue light".
