In addition to being a laboratory for science teams, the International Space Station is also a great place for Earth landscape photos. Many of us would love to be in the astronauts’ shoes and see the Earth from that angle. Astronauts also love to share the earth photos they take.
Now, we’re going to share with you the story of three photos taken from the spaceport this week. Let’s examine these magnificent earth images together…
The latest photos of Earth taken from space
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) shared three new photos this week. Astronauts show off their photographic skills once again as they broadcast remarkable images of Earth. The first of these photos is from Thomas Pesquet, who made a name for himself with the world landscapes he took recently.

European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet gets thousands of likes on Twitter for his photos of Earth. The last photo he shared resembles a van Gogh painting. According to Digital Trends, the oil painting-like photograph offers insight into what van Gogh would have done had he had the chance to get his brush and palette into orbit.
Pesquet captured this photo earlier this week as the space station passed over Australia. However, the ESA astronaut did not reveal exactly which location of Australia the photo in question shows.
Two new photos showing the USA have arrived!
Another photo that managed to enter the list of Earth photos taken from space belongs to NASA astronaut Megan McArthur. The view of San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge from space was appreciated.

This photo of McArthur also shows a few other highlights. For example, Farallones Bay, San Francisco Bay, most of the city and Alcatraz Island…
The third place among Earth photos is the shot of NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough. This photo shows a truly magnificent sight.

The photo, which gives the impression of a surreal image, resembles huge CDs. For some people, it’s like a crop circle. However, it is actually a farmland using the sprinkler system around a central point. This image comes from the USA. These circular crop fields are quite interesting.
Meanwhile, Pesquet captured a similar image earlier this year as the space station passed over Saudi Arabia.
However, capturing images from space isn’t easy, even if we envy the astronauts’ view. Astronauts are mostly busy doing scientific experiments on the spaceport. Therefore, they have limited time to take their cameras and look out the window.
