Explanation:
For the orbiting
International Space Station (ISS),
the sun sets every
90 minutes.
But working through the night,
spacewalking astronauts can rely on artificial lighting.
Here, the eerie glow of work-lights illuminate
Space Shuttle Endeavor astronaut Jerry Ross during a night on his
second spacewalk as he continues the in orbit
assembly of the ISS.
Endeavor
landed at Kennedy Space Center
Tuesday night
bringing an end to the successful ISS assembly mission and the
final shuttle mission of 1998.
