What amazed me most was the contrast between day and night, and the brilliance of the stars.
It only lasted for a minute and by the time I snapped this picture it was gone. It was one of the most amazing sights of my life.

After watching the sun set later that day, we crossed the international date line on our way back home.
It rose again through the window of our plane, and finally set for good over the Pacific Ocean in San Diego.
