    This image shows Earth as viewed from orbit, likely from the International Space Station or a spacecraft. The curvature of the Earth is clearly visible along with the thin blue atmospheric limb separating the planet from the blackness of space. The scene captures a terminator zone — the boundary between daylight and darkness — with clouds illuminated by low-angle sunlight on one side transitioning into shadow.
