NASA Astronaut Tweets Stunning India Images from Space
We often wonder how the earth looks like in space, how our homes, our countries look like etc. There are some of us who have the privilege to actually have a look and then they send us the images that just stump us big time. These guys are genuinely brave and lucky to actually do what they are doing. As exciting and overwhelming a space trip may sound; t’s also extremely challenging and risky. Terry W. Virts is one such astronaut from NASA who has taken stunning images of India from space and posted them on twitter. The images cover cities like Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and the entire beautiful Eastern Coast. This is literally India like you have never seen Virts is the Commander for Expedition 43 and has been in space since December 2014. Most of the images are pure magic and will make you feel so little in this big, wonderful world. It was last week when was flying over India and took these images. The way it looks at day and the lightening that looks like fireworks at night. Have a look!
