Here is an interesting view of the Earth's atmosphere during sunset from a position in low orbit. Venus can be seen just over the glow of the atmosphere. The Space Shuttle Discovery's crew snapped this shot when they were flying over Earth during mission STS-30.

Moonset Over Earth
I found the view of the different layers of a planet's atmosphere in this picture to be interesting. The Space Shuttle's crew snapped this shot of the moon when they were flying over Earth during mission STS-35.
