Their vantage point in the cupola has now become our favourite place too, since we know where all the beautiful views come from.


The images beamed back from high above are truly a sight for sore eyes and French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, it seems, can't get enough of the grandeur of the views. His friendship with his camera lens seems to be a tight one.


The space first-timer has been treating his followers on a daily basis with some of the most breathtaking photographs, ever since he joined the ISS crew in November, 2016.


Even though all the images beamed back by the astronaut have been spectacular, ISS views of India are rare, so the excitement whenever one is shared is understandable – like now, for instance.


One of Pesquet's most recent posts was a stunning night view of Bengaluru in India as seen from 250 kilometers above the Earth.


Pesquet wrote: “Bangalore, in India. It's strange how cities at night all look so different.”


Needless to say, the photograph is gorgeous! Check out Thomas Pesquet's post below:
