The world from the sky

¿Qué puede hacer un astronauta durante una estancia de un año en la Estación Espacial Internacional? En medio del universo y a millares de distancia de la tierra, la contemplación de nuestro planeta es una de las mayores distracciones que podemos encontrar en el espacio. El astronauta Chris Hadfield relató su experiencia en el libro ‘You Are Here: Around the World in 92 minutes‘, un ensayo visual donde retrata los rincones más bellos de la Tierra desde el espacio. Durante poco más de hora y media Hadfield recorrió la esfera terrestre para hacernos este tour personal. Vistas de Venecia, el Himalaya, Manhattan o los desiertos de Egipto como nunca antes lo habíamos visto. Imágenes que consiguen cautivarnos y retratar la belleza natural del lugar donde vivimos.

What can an astronaut can do during a year-stay in the International Space Station? In the middle of the universe and from thousands of miles away from the Earth, the contemplation of our planet is one of the major distractions that we can find in the space. Astronaut Chris Hadfield explained his experience in the book “You are Here: Around The World in 92 minutes”, a visual essay in which he portraits the most beautiful corners of the Earth from outer space. For slightly more than an hour and a half, Hadfield travelled the terrestrial sphere to take us on a personal tour. Views of Venice, Himalaya, Manhattan or the Egyptian deserts like we have never seen before. Pictures that captivate us and portrait the natural beauty of the place we live.
