NASA posted a photo of a cloud formation that was taken by astronauts on board the International Space Station to Instagram.
The caption read, “White & pink clouds cover Earth as the space station orbits above the Red Sea coast, the world’s most northern tropical sea.” NASA described it as a “stunning cloud formation.”
The view from the International Space Station (@ISS) is unmatched. As the space station orbited over Earth, astronauts on board the ISS were able to record these breathtaking cloud patterns.
