Incredible footage shared by NASA shows what astronauts see as they re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere after being in outer space.
Most of us will never get a chance to see what it’s like to look down on our planet from above.
However, astronauts working on the International Space Station were able to capture neat footage to give us all a glimpse into exactly what they see if they look out the window as their spacecraft flies back to Earth.
And it’s about as interesting and cool as you’d imagine – you can see it in action in the clip above.
