Flags are supposed to be lowered at night.
You generally raise the flag at colours (0800) and lower them at sunset.
If 0800 is before dawn, you raise the flag at 0800, lower it immediately, then raise the flag again at dawn.

Why is American flag backwards on planes and shuttle?
Although at first glance it appears wrong, the flag on the shuttle Orbiter is not truly backward. The regulation for displaying a U.S. flag on a national vehicle states that the star field must be positioned at the front of the vessel (the nose cone end of the shuttle), as if the flag were "flying" along the side of the ship. This causes the flag to look as though it were backward on one side of the Shuttle.
