The ISS orbits Earth at a height of around 250 miles, meaning the space station makes around 16 trips around Earth every single day. Now, one NASA astronaut on board the ISS has snapped a stunning photo of "stars, cities spaceships and a comet". Astronaut Bob Behnken, who has only been on the ISS for a month, posted the beautiful photo to Twitter. Stars, cities, spaceships, and a comet!”While it remains unclear which cities can be seen in the photo, the comet is Comet NEOWISE, which will be visible throughout July. Mr Sutherland added: “Binoculars will be very helpful in finding it, even if the comet is just visible in the brightening twilight.”
