Astronaut shares incredible time course of our Milky Way system captured from SpaceX ship

A BEAUTIFUL video of the Milky Way was recorded from the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.

The Crew Dragon Resilience is currently connected to the International Space Station as it orbits our planet.

NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins tweeted the amazing time-lapse video of the Milky Way.

He said: “I did not think the views could get any better, so my crew @Astro_Soichi took time off Resilience this night and I was blown away.”

Noguchi is an astronaut from the Japanese Space Agency who arrived at the ISS in November 2020 with Hopkins and two others.

His video shows the stars in our Milky Way system sparkling in all their glory.

It should land on the coast of Florida with a parachute-assisted splash.

Hopkins and Noguchi are expected to return with it.

They were part of the SpaceX Crew-1 launch, but the Crew-2 mission would have to launch to the ISS on April 22nd.

Nasa’s blog post currently reads: ‘Crew-2 was currently launched on Earth Day, April 22nd.

“Crew-1, the first long-running commercial crew mission, will return to Earth on April 28.”

What is the ISS?

Here’s what you need to know about the International Space Station …

  • The International Space Station, often abbreviated to ISS, is a large spacecraft that orbits the Earth and houses astronauts who go there to complete scientific missions.
  • Many countries have worked together to build it and they are working together to use it
  • It consists of many pieces that astronauts had to send individually on rockets and compiled from 1998 to 2000
  • Since the year 2000, people have been living on the ISS
  • Nasa uses the station to learn how to live and work in space
  • It is about 250 kilometers above the earth and orbits the planet just like a satellite
  • It is said to live inside the ISS as in a large house with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a gym, many scientific laboratories and a large bay window for the earth.

In other space news, Nasa is concerned Insight lander of $ 800 million because it entered “emergency sleep” on Mars.

Nasa surprised space fans by releasing an image of what on Mars looks like a rainbow.

And the mystery surrounding what looks like giant spiders on the surface of Mars has finally been solved.
