Time and again astronauts have shared remarkable photos from space on social media and the latest set have come from astronaut Chris Cassidy, who clicked several photos of the Galapagos Islands. “Beautiful pass over the Galapagos Islands today!” tweeted Cassidy, who is currently living aboard the International Space Station. The stunning pictures show the Galapagos Islands, a group of volcanic islands that lie in the Pacific Ocean and are part of Ecuador.
