#FallFashionInspo 🍂

Even though it looks like an autumn 2019 trend report,
it’s even more otherworldly!
This #EarthArt is a view of river mouths in Northern Madagascar captured by Christina Kock (@Astro_Christina)
from the International Space Station (@ISS).
These waters are often a rusty red year-round because they carry iron-rich sediment from highlands in the island’s interior where they originate.
Upon meeting the president of Madagascar,
one astronaut is said to have joked:
“Oh,
yes,
I know your country.
It is the one bleeding into the ocean.”
Photographing the Earth from the space station is an important way for @nasaastromaterials scientists to keep an eye on our ever-changing planet from a priceless perspective.
You could call it our own trend report of sorts!

NASA astronaut @astrodrewmorgan conducts a spacewalk to upgrade the International Space Station's (@iss)
power systems,
in this image taken on Oct.
6,
2019.
Fellow astronaut @astro_christina photographed him as they worked outside in the vacuum of space for 7 hours and 1 minute to begin the latest round of upgrading the station's large nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer,
more powerful lithium-ion batteries.
The spacewalk marked the first of 10 spacewalks —
a cadence that has not been seen since the final assembly of the space station in 2011.⁣

“Paris is always a good idea.”

Originally nicknamed the “City of Light”
for its efforts in pioneering street lamps to increase public safety in the 1600s,
the name stuck through the following Age of Enlightenment as it cemented itself as a center for art,
innovation and education.⁣
⁣
This photo of Paris at nighttime from the space station proves the name still holds true.
Back then,
they probably could have never predicted its street grids would be clearly recognizable from the @ISS 250 miles above as it orbits the planet once every 90 minutes with humans onboard.⁣
