This astronaut is sharing stunning photographs of south India from Space

Veteran NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has just tweeted some stunning photographs of south India from the International Space Station.

The photographs are part of Kelly’s #YearInSpace series, in which he’s been posting surreal space photographs taken during his special year-long mission until March 2016. Kelly, who is the Commander of the Space Station, describes his photographs as “Earth Art”, and his close-ups of landscapes across the planet often resemble beautiful abstract paintings.

Kelly had also taken a widely-shared photograph of south India at night in November.
