A NASA Astronaut Shared Videos Of How India Looks From Outer Space, And They’re Beautiful

Pictures of the world from space never cease to amaze us, and when NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts rocked it by capturing India in these absolutely breathtaking pictures and videos from the International Space Station, we just could not stop taking pride to be living in a country that looks so sparkly beautiful from up there.

For those of you who have not yet gotten lucky enough to check India-from-space out, we have got it covered for you here.

If it were not for these astonishingly beautiful tweets and vines by Terry W. Virts, we would be still stuck thinking about all that is wrong with India. These majestic captures on the other hand make us think of our country from a whole different perspective, one that is simply beautiful and out of the world (quite literally).
