American astronaut Scott Kelly uploaded a picture of South India at night from the ISS, showcasing the beauty of Southern Indian cities from space. The picture showed a gorgeous landscape of the Ganges and the India-Pakistan border.
The Picture Was Uploaded from ISS November 15
Kelly’s picture was taken from the south-western direction, with India’s southern coast in the eastern part of the image. The faded yellow color of the landscape is minutely interrupted by city lights, making for a gorgeous view quite a ways away.
The caption on the picture read: ‘Day 233. Once upon a #star over Southern India. #Goodnight from the @space_station! #YearInSpace.’
The ISS has been getting a series of repairs, which featured Kelly’s very first spacewalk, to get some of the equipment adjusted or upgraded. For a station so far away, the ISS has sure been garnering a surprising amount of attention.
Kelly Completed 383 Days in Space on October 16 from the ISS
Scott Kelly is the longest living astronaut on the ISS, and he would have gotten to a total of 415 days by November 17, and as of October 16, he became the longest living American in space.
Kelly is set to return from his year in space at the ISS on March 6th, 2016.
