- NASA captured an image of the Earth's terminator from the ISS, 267 miles above the Pacific Ocean near New Zealand.
- The terminator, marking the boundary between day and night, highlights Earth's rotation and changing seasons.
- The ISS experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets daily.
- The terminator’s shape varies with the equinoxes and solstices, displaying the Earth's axial tilt.
- The terminator, also known as twilight, is a moving line that divides Earth—or any other planet or celestial object—between daytime and nighttime.
- This line passes over Earth twice each day: once at sunrise and once at sunset.
