It’s easy to forget that a beautiful place our home planet is. But when you take a step back, or rather 408km back, you can see all of its glorious beauty. French astronaut Thomas Pesquet reminds us of the beauty and uniqueness of the Earth. While onboard the ISS, Pesquet has taken some stunning photos of our one and only home.
In late April 2021, Pesquet took off for the International Space Station for the second time. For his second stay on the ISS, he has become the first French commander of the Station. But other than being an astronaut and an ISS commander, which is impressive on its own, he’s also an avid photographer. On his Twitter and Flickr pages, he shares the photos he has taken during his stay onboard the ISS.
Other than photos and some basic information, Pesquet sometimes shares humorous titles that follow them. So while his photos of the Earth will astound you, his humor will also bring a smile to your face. Just like looking at the stars, looking at photos of the Earth from afar reminded me how small we are. And I personally find it to be a very liberating feeling. So, I hope that you’ll enjoy Pesquet’s photos as much as I did and that they will bring you a little peace today.
