Jaw-dropping scenes see thousands of fireworks going off, viewed from space.
NASA astronaut Chris Williams shared remarkable footage on Wednesday, Jan. 7, taken from the International Space Station (ISS) of New Year fireworks in Baku, Azerbaijan.
He said: “I was practicing some nighttime photographs from one of the windows on the Space Station at the end of the work day on New Year’s Eve.
“I had just finished passing over my targets when I noticed something funny – the city below me was twinkling!
“I quickly took a video, and realized that as we were orbiting further east, we had orbited into 2026, and I was actually seeing the New Year’s fireworks over Baku, Azerbaijan!”
