New York from space

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano captured this image of New York from the International Space Station and shared it saying: "You can perceive the unique vitality of New York even in a photo."

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.
