Thanks Robert. That was interesting. I find it interesting that a spacecraft captured this on film. I didn't know they had film cameras on unmanned spacecraft. Maybe they beam the digital image down and then project it on to film? Maybe it's not on film. Also, it appears it was an extremely clear evening on that side of the world. Not a cloud in the sky.
