Nasa has released an incredible image of the UK snapped by astronauts aboard the International Space Station.It was snapped from low orbit as the ISS travelled past on February 26 at exactly 9.25 in the morning.
The spacecraft’s altitude was 214 nautical miles away from Earth – about the same distance it takes to drive from central London to Manchester by car via the M40.The International Space Station is currently home to six astronauts A Nikon D5 was used to snap the shot, with a 17-35mm zoom lens, looking through a window of the International Space Station over the sea between Wales and Ireland.
Last year, the International Space Station celebrated 20 years since it was first launched, though the first batch of long-term residents did not arrive until two years later in November 2000.In its lifetime, the station has been home to 236 astronauts, including British ESA astronaut Major Tim Peake, who was an inhabitant from December 15, 2015 until June 18, 2016.
It cost roughly $100 billion to build, making it the most expensive structure built in human history.
