The stunning image peers down upon the pyramids, which look shockingly large and solid.
They blend into the nearby sand, but their building blocks are visible.
The view from space is pretty incredible.

If youre an astronaut flying in space, you gotta look at that as your last flight.
And so you gotta enjoy it.
And Ive got the rest of my life to be on Earth.
Virts had a prolific career with NASA and in the US Air Force.
I was hooked at a very young age, Terry admitted.
I grew up with posters of space, rockets and galaxies on my wall.
Even then, I loved astronomy, learning about it in magazines.
My parents even got me a telescope when I was in sixth grade.
Reading the famous book The Right Stuff propelled him to strive for the career as a teen.
My favorite part of being in space was obviously the view, Virts toldFox Cities Performing Arts Centerin 2023.
Seeing the Aurora Borealis is rare and it was amazing.
