10 UNIQUE views of Russia seen from space (PHOTOS)
Thanks to the cosmonauts on the International Space Station, we get to see the beauty of Russia from 408 km up above, beyond the atmosphere.
Even though it’s been a while since humanity began exploring space, seeing our planet from the “outside”, with one’s own eyes remained a dream for the majority of people around the world.
Famous cosmonaut Yury Gagarin didn’t have a camera when he first traveled to space, but today photography has become one of the things cosmonauts and astronauts do on a regular basis, as part of their work and as a hobby. Below are some of the most amazing snaps of Russia they’ve taken during the last two years. Enjoy!
