暮光花
2023年5月6日 Twilight in a Flower Image Credit & Copyright: Dario Giannobile Explanation: Transformed into the petals of a flower, 16 exposures show the passage of day into night in this creative timelapse skyscape.

A clear high altitude layer, visible along the dayside’s upper edge, scatters blue sunlight and fades into the blackness of space. This picture was taken in June of 2001 from the International Space Station…
