About this work
STS093-708-037 (23-27 July 1999) --- Sunset paints the ocean and low clouds with brilliant color and shadow just off the eastern coast of Brazil in the western South Atlantic in this photo from the Space Shuttle Columbia's 35th orbit. Since one orbit of the shuttle around the Earth only takes 90 minutes, every 45 minutes the astronauts can witness a sunrise or sunset. The shuttle was flying at a point located over 1.4 degrees north latitude and 26.9 west longitude.
