The sunset is just as beautiful when seen from above
Sunsets are breathtaking when viewed from Earth, but they are just as – if not more – beautiful when seen from space, too. This picture was taken by German astronaut Alexander Gerst during his stint as commander of the International Space Station.
The clouds reflect the last of the Sun’s light as it sinks below the horizon. The video this picture was taken from was originally posted on social media, and in just a day, it was liked more than 8,500 times and received more than 1,800 comments. We can totally understand why.
