Another cool article. Beautiful sunset from the ISS.

Other than seeing what looks like the sun setting upside down in that pretty picture, and knowing that the picture was taken from inside the ISS, I can't figure out what I'm looking at. What is the deep blue? What are the things that look like clouds? Can anyone help me out with a description?

Morning Gracie! As you can see by the time, I'm up, didn't sleep at all last night.

Refraction in the atmospheric separating the colors like it does in a rainbow. The deep blue is because your looking through so much more atmosphere than if you were.looking straight up vice such a shallow angle. Hope that helps. Someone other than me can probably explain it better.

Those are clouds. The earth's surface is at the top if the picture. This appears to be looking at the Southern Hemisphere (I think ).

Morning Bells. Your up early as usual. This is WAY early for me. Matter of fact, I'll probably go back to bed and try it again in a little while.

If you like space photography you really should.follow Station Commander Scott Kelly on Instagram. He's spending an entire.year inspace.to study the long.term.effecrs.of.low gravity in preparation for NASA possibly sending astronauts to Mars in the future. He really is great photographer. Generally posts one interesting/beautiful pic a day.

I'm up cause I sacked out about 8:30 last night......5 minutes after my head hit the pillow, I was OUT!
Hope you can get some decent sleep!

Be careful with that rain; like I have to tell you that?!

Gracie, Sorry we didn't get to meet up during our travels. I would have loved it. Maybe better luck next time or see you in April if all else fails.

Yea, me too!
On the way up, we could have met, but, on the way back, I mentioned to Peter........oooh, we can call Matt......he replied, I don't think that would be a good idea at 2 in the am......when we hit VA!.

We took 95 home and missed all the Washington traffic. On the way up, we took 26 to 77 to 81...nicer ride, but longer!

My best prayers and wishes to all of those that will be enduring the coming rain...

That's how we usually go north to avoid DC/Baltimore traffic. This last trip up, however, with the rain there was an accident on 77 causing a 3 hr sit in traffic. Fun, NOT! Looks like the hurricane is going out to sea amd not making landfall. Still lots of rain, however.

Here's a good article about what's coming this weekend regardless of the darn hurricane. We're gonna drown here in the Mid-Atlantic states. Anywhere from 5 to 20 inches of rain depending on exactly where your at. We've already got towels tucked in front of the sliding glass doors just to catch the water that's blowing against the doors and filling up the track.

I read this morning that it looks the storm is going to take a more easterly track. I sure hope so. I wouldn't wish one of those things on anybody.

Well, doggone it, Kay, I quoted your post, but it didn't take. Hip replacement? Wow! At least you have a good outlook about it.

I'm having shoulder and hand issues and I did get some relief from the chiropractor yesterday. Half of my left hand is numb. It's getting troublesome.

95 both ways at around 85mph.

my right hand has been entirely numb since 2010. at the time, i was uninsured.

you should get a nerve conduction test as soon as possible. there are treatments, if you don't wait too long
