International Space Station astronaut Samantha Christoforetti wins the internet today.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
It’s even funnier when you realise the Dragon is hauling up the ISSespresso, the first espresso machine designed to work in space!! She’s legit getting coffee from that Dragon capsule!

Happy Sweet 16, ISS!
November 20th marked the launch anniversary of the first module of the International Space Station (ISS), Zarya. On that day in 1998 began the construction in space of this unique scientific and exploration outpost that enables researchers from all over the world to put their talents to work with innovative experiments that could not be done anywhere else.
We thank our partners from the United States, Russia, Europe and Japan for 16 years of outstanding collaboration. Here’s to many more!

This is how a close-up of lightning beneath a cumulonimbus cloud looks like from space. An astronaut on International Space Station (ISS) captured this image while orbiting over Bolivia in 2011.
There’s also a more recent image of lightning’s white flash amidst the yellow city lights of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia from 2013:
Hopefully, we are going to see more and more of these amazing images since there is a new instrument on ISS, called the Firestation, which is specifically designed to study lightning.
