Everybody seems to be a photographer these days but we aren’t complaining…
Terry Virts is currently floating many many miles above our heads in the International Space Station but that doesn’t mean he is any less active on social media.
He’s no Chris Hadfield just yet but if he keeps up this kind of work we can see the American becoming pretty popular on the olde Twitter machine.
Virts tweeted a picture of the ‘weather bomb’ that was covering Ireland and the UK last weekend and the image really is staggering.
The whole scene has quite the apocalyptic feel to it as all the lights make it look like the earth is on fire. Also, at the bottom left you can see a flash of light from lightning in a perfectly timed snap.
The picture really is class…
Amazing photo timing! Lightning from the storm off the UK last week with Aurora pic.twitter.com/MflB3E05oo
