NASA astronaut Nick Hague has an office with a view to rival anyone on Earth because he can see all of it.
Over the weekend, NASA shared a stunning timelapse of Hague’s view from the International Space Station. The video condensed 30 minutes of orbit time around the Earth, going from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, into one beautiful minute. The many clouds visible only added to the awe-inspiring view taken from 254 miles above Earth.
“Took a moment to capture the beauty of our planet today. I was awestruck as I watched the wispy clouds disappear into the shadows,” Hague tweeted.
Hague launched to the space station on March 14 and will return to Earth in October.
Recently, Hague also had a chance to speak to his son’s class.
“I got a chance to speak with my son’s class today. Kind of like ‘bring you dad to school’ day,” Hague tweeted on May 17.
He also shared an update after his first two months on the station.
“2 months into my stay on @Space_Station! What’s it like adjusting to life in space? My back stretched out due to lack of gravity & I’m now 2 inches taller, fluid shifts make me feel a bit stuffy, & the tops of my feet now have calluses since we use them like hands on handrails,” he tweeted on May 21.
