TTO – Using the most modern equipment and a unique stargazing position, astronauts have captured images that make viewers mesmerized by the fascinating and mysterious universe.
Recently, Forbes magazine published a new series of photographers – famous astronaut Don Pettit (American) on the starry sky of the International Space Station (ISS).
Don Pettit worked for NASA and lived 370 days on the ISS. Upon his return to Earth, he released countless beautiful photos taken from the ISS to the public.
His photos are filtered, edited and classified into different sets. Recently, he sent astrophotographers a set of stargazing images on the ISS.
According to experts, from a “unique” point of view – through the windows of the ISS – the starry sky appears both eerie and sparkling.
Notably, Don Pettit used the most modern cameras and applied his own exposure technique. Thanks to this, the photos recorded many different movements, from stars to cities on Earth, lightning, aurora …
With his talent and skillful editing techniques, Don Pettit amazes viewers with the beauty of the universe.
Viewers can also see the blue above Earth, which is the atmosphere. The red color of sunlight is also visible in many photographs.
Therefore, through its lens, the space around the Earth becomes magical, both strange and familiar to many people. The set of photos is a nominee for numerous astrophotography awards this year.
Donald Pettit was born in 1955. Before “joining” NASA, he was a chemical engineer.
When he was assigned to the ISS, he began to learn and create the most modern and eye-catching means of space photography.
For more than a year on the ISS, he took tens of thousands of photos of space and Earth.
He was also commissioned to undertake a number of experiments. In particular, according to National Geographic, he is the first to grow sunflower flowers that can bloom on Earth.
