Description
Sunrise Begins captures the first light of day above Earth’s curved horizon from the International Space Station. Thin bands of atmosphere glow against the darkness while cloud systems and city lights remain visible below.
Astronaut Matthew Dominick photographed the scene during Expedition 71, translating the rapid cycle of orbital day and night into a quiet, layered composition.
Produced from NASA’s official 8,256 × 5,504 file, every offered paper, framed-and-matted, and stretched-canvas size preserves the native 3:2 composition and remains above 300 PPI.
