NASA astronauts up in the International Space Station have the best view on earth!
Terry W. Virts has been tweeting pictures from space.
He captured India from Chennna to New Delhi. And also managed to capture lightening storm in Indian atmosphere.
Virts and his team in the International Space Station are orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes. That is nearly 16 trips around the world in a single day! Of course, the ISS does it in a low Earth orbit, at approximately 400km above ground (passenger jets cruise approximately 10km high). – See more at: http://www.cntraveller.in/story/what-india-looks-space#sthash.j8SWs5vQ.dpuf
