Thousand-Mile Shadows Cast into Space, Viewed Aboard the International Space Station #ArtTuesday #space
Thousand-Mile Shadows Cast into Space, Viewed Aboard the International Space Station. From Colossal:
One of six astronauts currently on board the International Space Station, geophysicist Alexander Gerst spends much of his free time staring out the window as the world zooms by 205 miles below, camera in-hand.
…One of his favorite things to shoot are the shadows cast by clouds, something that appears surprisingly dramatic from space. Dense cloud formations can create long shadows that stretch for thousands of miles across the Earth’s surface as they eventually disappear into a black horizon. You can see new photos from Gerst daily on Twitter.
