Check out these amazing Earth images captured from the International Space Station by outgoing astronaut Andreas Mogensen.
Andreas Mogensen became the first Dane in orbit when he arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) as part of SpaceX’s Crew-7 in August 2023.
After just over six months aboard the orbital outpost, the astronaut is now preparing to head back to Earth with his three colleagues aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
A specific date for the return mission has yet to be set, but it’s expected to take place in the coming weeks.
As he begins to turn his attention to terra firma, Mogensen took time out on Thursday to share some of the remarkable Earth images (below) that he was able to capture from the station over the last half-year or so:
He also posted these impressive Earth photos on his social media feed during the last six months:
Mogensen described his first time in space as “a dream come true, where I got to live and work on the International Space Station for more than 6 months, conducting science from Denmark, Europe, and the world, in areas like our immune system, water filtration, virtual reality, and how we sleep on the Space Station.
