Shenzhou-18 Astronauts Capture Stunning Views of Earth

The Shenzhou-18 crew members on board China’s orbiting space station have shared a set of photos and videos, showcasing the shocking beauty of Earth and the cosmos from about 400 kilometers above.

During the mission, the three astronauts have marveled at the stunning landscapes, from snow-white seas of clouds to vibrant blue oceans and cities lit up at night.

In their downtime, the crew often gaze through the windows of the space station, recording the majestic rivers, and towering mountains of China. They have captured the stunning visuals of the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as well as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River that are regarded as the “Mother Rivers” of the Chinese nation.
