orange glow by the low angleof the sun in the west. The dark area to the
left is the earth's terminator. This view was photographed by Astronaut
Frank Borman and James A. Lovell during the Gemini 7 mission, looking
south from northern Bolivia across the Andes. The intermontane salt basins
are visible in the background.
