Earth Observations taken by STS-119 Crewmember.
S119-E-010690 (27 March 2009) --- On its final full day in space before a scheduled return home on March 28, the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery took some pictures of the home planet. Unlike most of the images, which showed closer views of Earth featuring oceans, lakes, rivers, clouds, mountains and deserts, this view shows Earth's limb as the spacecraft approached a rising or setting sun.
