LONDON: NASA astronaut Terry Vrits has been sharing some breathtaking photos and Vine videos of city lights and lightning strikes over India as seen from space, through his Twitter account. Vrits is currently the commander of Expedition 43 to the International Space Station (ISS), a mission which kicked off in March 2015.
The first photograph shows moonlit clouds floating over the Indian (southeast) coastline. This gorgeous view of wispy clouds and city lights covers Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. The second image shows Chennai in all its nighttime glory, while the Vine video embedded below captures a huge lightning storm raging over the country.
Vrits also shared a photo of Ahmadabad at night, a daytime view of the river Ganges, a Vine video of a night flight along the eastern coast of India and a clip of the whole country sparkling with city lights starting from Delhi and ending with Chennai.
