NASA Astronaut & Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Don Pettit: "The International Space Station now is aligned with Earth’s day-night shadow thus we see neither full day nor full night.  This is the best time to photograph clouds under low angle lighting."

The terminator is the line that separates night and day on Earth.
