Ah, well, I'm not after a physically correct view on
sun and earth (as someone pointed out, the night-earth
is way too bright to be visible with the sun in-screen),
but a more artistic view. And thus, a warm sun for a
sunrise is good enough. And the beauty of night on earth
is also nicely visible.

As a side-note: you do know that images of sun-spots etc
wouldn't be able to capture the earth as well, as the lens has
to be fairly darkened to not get overlit at once...

Still, thanks for the suggestions!
