ISS047e016355 (03/23/2016) --- The International Space Station's Destiny Laboratory at “night” shortly before the Expedition 47 crew entered its scheduled sleep period. The space station experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets every day which can alter the crew’s circadian rhythm and disrupt sleep patterns. Lights are turned off and windows are covered to give the interior of the station a nighttime environment during sleep cycles.
