See what sunrise looks like from the Chinese space station

The Space Agency of the People's Republic of China showed what the sunrise looks like from the station,

moving at an altitude of about 400 km above the surface of the planet, space, the Earth and Tiangong itself.The video was captured by panoramic cameras mounted on a robotic arm that assembled the space station's modules together.

In the video you can see how the sun rises overedge of the Earth's surface, giving the atmosphere bright colors. The ship glides over the surface of our planet and viewers can see the ocean and clouds of the atmosphere. In addition, when you turn the camera, you can see the device of the space station itself.

"Tian Gong" (translated from Chinese "HeavenlyPalace) is a modular space station designed and built by the China Space Agency. To date, this is one of two (together with the ISS) operating and the only national manned station in near-Earth orbit.

The construction of the space station was completed inlast year, when all three Tiangong modules reached orbits. At the same time, the crew assembled the station using a large robotic arm. The second and third modules, after being launched from the Earth, reached the docking lock, after which the taikonauts, using a manipulator, moved them to the side locks of the main unit in order to complete the T-shaped structure.
