New Delhi: French astronaut Thomas Pesquet totally needs to take up photography as a side business. The photographs adorning his Twitter feed are all no less than stunning and we can't wait for more!

Yesterday, he posted two of the most breathtaking images taken from his vantage point in the ISS's cupola.

Both images were captured during the night time, which enhances them more and gives them more appeal.

While one image was of the night scenes looking down at brightly lit cities of Torino, Milano and Lyon, the other was of the moon, being its reclusive self and trying to hide behind the space station's solar arrays.

Both images paint a lovely picture and we can't help but crave for more views like these!

Have a look!

The Moon's light reflects on snow. Combined with city lights we get the most beautiful night scenes seen so far. Torino, Milano and Lyon! pic.twitter.com/3AfRyRbjfR

The Moon, trying to hide behind our solar arrays. We mostly look at Earth but sometimes we also look up into space! https://t.co/DVljthwL2U pic.twitter.com/Mkg0EmksJs
