Avant/après 2001 : Kubrick et la recherche de la nouveauté. Conférence de Pierre Berthomieu

C’est ainsi qu’il élabore son odyssée de l’espace, destinée à révolutionner la science-fiction. Nourri de plusieurs films des années 1950, qu’il améliore techniquement, 2001 puise dans les registres des cinémas expérimental et scientifique, comme dans la musique classique, avec l’idée, a priori paradoxale, d’un g
A Year Of Sunrises
Hundreds of pictures of Earth, each taken at about 06:00 local time, show the terminator - the day/night line - over the course of one year. The Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit, the so the angle of the sunrise line tilts first one way and then the other over time.

The images were taken with the METEOSAT-9 Earth-observing satellite.
