Valentine lake

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is currently on the International Space Station for his 6-month long Proxima mission. In addition to conducting science experiments, he has been taking stunning and valuable images of Earth as seen from space. For the occasion of Valentine's Day, 14 Februay, he posted this image, saying:

"I really wasn’t planning to take such a picture today, believe it or not, but by an uncanny coincidence, looking out the Cupola just one minute in-between sets of my workout, we happened to fly over a heart-shaped lake in Mongolia… Valentine’s day has struck again!"
