Amazon fires

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano captured this image of fires in the Amazon from the International Space Station and shared it on his social media channels saying: "Our world burned alive. Together with our future."

Luca was launched to the International Space Station for his second mission, Beyond, on 20 July 2019. He will spend six months living and working on the orbital outpost where he will support more than 50 European experiments and more than 200 international experiments in space.
