In 2015, a NASA astronaut published a photo of the Pyramids of Giza from space.
Being an astronaut is one of the coolest jobs out there. It cannot be defined otherwise. There are many who want to aspire to be one of them, but for that you need to know how to pilot and study science. That’s what NASA’s Terry Virts did when he returned home and used his last day on the International Space Station to snap an incredible photo.
Terry Virts is not the astronaut who has been on the ISS the longest, that award goes to Frank Rubio who has been in orbit for over a year. However, Virts is an astronaut who has gone viral incredible photograph of the pyramids taken from space.
The Pyramids of Giza as you’ve never seen them before
Clearly, astronauts do people with the best opinions on the planet and thanks to their powerful telescopic tools, they can photograph whatever they want from there. Although, to be honest, the pyramids cannot be seen from space without these devices. There is only one thing built by humans that can be seen with the naked eye, and that is in Almeria.
The story of the photo taken by this astronaut dates back to 2015 when, after spending months in orbit, he decided to get to work because “there were still videos he wanted to make.” During his last flight around the Earth He took the tools and was able to photograph the pyramids of Giza.
The photo was posted on his personal Twitter profile: “It took me until my last day in space to take this photo,” he wrote in a tweet, attaching a very clear photo of buildings built in ancient Egypt. Thousands of people reacted to the picture and it’s no wonder.

In addition to this valuable and curious graphic document, Terry Virts captured more videos and images from the International Space Station showing the curvature of the Earth. Which is really interesting and surprising. It is clear that you can take snapshots from space that are the envy of all of us who like landscapes.
We know that being an astronaut is very difficult for ordinary mortals.. But if you like natural landscapes, even if they are not from space, in Spain you have the opportunity to walk and admire unknown corners, which are also very good. Some look like Norwegian fjords and others like stories taken from Tolkien’s books. So don’t hesitate to take advantage of these natural beauties.
