if the sun its 90 offset from the photographer, still day time, you should see half earth with shadow and half bright blue

so i just ask why in the thousand pictures i provided the sun its always at the zenith of the photographer?

you shouldnt consider me crazy for pondering this if you have no answer for it
At any 1 point in time half the globe is half light and half dark.

The space walks are all done at an altitude of about 100 - 130 miles so you are looking at quite a small section of the earth in the background. Add to this that if you are taking photographs you tend to need light so they take the pictures when they are on the light side of the earth. What's so hard to understand about that? If they took them when they were on the darkside of the earth they wouldn't show anything as the people would be in total darkness because they would be in the earths shadow.


I've already posted a 'boundary' picture or 3 so what's your point?
