Cue jaw-drop 😮 Behold, our beautiful planet Earth in all its natural splendor, captured from 250 miles above by astronaut Ricky Arnold (Astro_Ricky) who is currently living and working on the International Space Station (iss). He posted this stunning shot of the Red Sea to social media saying, “Humankind’s most advanced technology serves as the foreground for a timeless land." As you read this, six humans are orbiting planet Earth at 17,500mph in a football-field sized microgravity laboratory. During their time on the space station, they conduct important science and research that not only benefits life here on Earth, but will eventually help us send humans deeper into the solar system than ever before.
