Astronaut Thomas Pesquet (@thom_astro) of the European Space Agency (@europeanspaceagency) captured this photograph from the International Space Station (@ISS) on Nov. 25, 2016, and shared it on social media. Pesquet commented, "Sunrises. We experience 16 sunrises every 24 hours on the International Space Station as it takes us 90 minutes to do a complete orbit of our planet flying at 28,800 km/h. Of course we don't notice most of the sunrises as we are working inside, but every now and again I can take a picture." Image Credit: ESA/NASA
