Robert Behnken, an astronaut of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shared jaw-dropping pictures that show the boundary between night and day on Earth, as seen from space. Astronaut Behnken, who is current aboard the International Space Station, enjoys a view of Earth that most of us will probably never get to see in real life.
On Monday, Robert Behnken recently shared on Twitter stunning images of the demarcation between night and day on the Earth. The pictures show one part of the Earth submerged in darkness, while the other part is bathed in light - thus giving a stunning glimpse of the Earth’s horizon and a wonderful comparison between day and night on our world.
“My favorite views of our planet that capture the boundary between night and day,” he wrote while sharing the pics that show one a part of our planet shrouded darkly and therefore the other in light.
Mr. Behnken is one of the two astronauts who went to space earlier this month in a historic flight. Along with astronaut Doug Hurley, he entered the International Space Station on June 1.
