The picture was taken from the ISS.
Astronaut of the European space Agency (ESA) Thomas Sands, who is currently aboard the International space station on his Twitter page published the night of Europe.
“Europe at night – one of the most stunning views. We are moving from the Adriatic sea to the Middle East,” he said in the caption to the photo.
In may last year, NASA astronauts launched to the ISS experimental inflatable module beam, intended for the accommodation of the members of the station crew. It is planned that tests of the beam will be carried out for at least two years.
During this time the astronauts will evaluate its ability to protect from radiation, keep the temperature, as well as to resist the blows of micrometeorites, dust and other factors of the space environment.
