The short clip, shared on Twitter, was taken from the window of Dragon Resilience and shows the curve of the earth. Victor Glover, who recently arrived at the International Space Station, shared his first video of the Earth taken from space and its being shared widely on social media.
The NASA astronaut was part of the Crew-1 mission that transported a total of four astronauts to the space station aboard the SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule on November 15.
“Looking at the Earth through the window of Dragon Resilience. The scale of detail and sensory inputs made this a breathtaking perspective!” Glover wrote while sharing the video.
Take a look at the video here:

Please let me know if the earth is round

So, for all the people who think the earth is flat, take a good look.

I don’t know how you all get work done up there. I would just be staring out that window all the time.

Glover with his commander Michael Hopkins and fellow astronauts Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi docked with the space station on November 16 after taking off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
With the mission, Glover made history by becoming first African-American astronaut to live on the space station for a long duration, AP reported.
