Our home, Mother Earth. Here, the Earth here can be seen recieving sunlight from pole to pole. Our planet experiences this twice a year: once in the Spring and once in the Fall. In fact, this occurence is called an Equinox (hence the names Spring Equinox and Fall Equinox). During an Equinox, the Earth experiences 12-hours of sunlight and 12-hours of darkness everywhere. This picture was taken about 36,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface on the Fall Equinox (September 22, 2013). However, it wasn't posted until September 28, 2013.
