Setting Moon

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano snapped this picture of the Moon from the International Space Station in 2013. Astronauts experience 16 sunsets and sunrises each day as well as moonrises and moonsets as they orbit Earth at 28 000 km/h.

Luca spent almost six months on the International Space Station conducting over 30 experiments and ventured outside on two spacewalks.
