  Title: STS-56 Earth observation of a Canadian sunrise taken aboard Discovery, OV-103
  Description:
  STS-56 Earth observation taken aboard Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, 
  is of a Canadian sunrise.  Low clouds on the eastern horizon are blocking 
  most of the direct sunlight as the sun climbs over the northern Atlantic in 
  this Canadian sunrise scene.  Bright yellow colors are sun rays which 
  penetrate through the cloud-free areas while the reds in the scene are 
  primarily illuminated clouds in the troposphere.
