Astronaut's Stunning Space Snapshots

Up in space, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui had a busy week. He shared some amazing photos from the International Space Station (ISS). The photos show the Milky Way and colorful auroras. Yui said the ISS was in a different position, so he got a unique view.

Preparing for a Big Delivery

Yui is also getting ready for a big delivery. Japan's new cargo ship, HTV-X, is set to launch soon. He promised to catch it gently with the station's robotic arm. Yui even tweeted to the ship, telling it not to worry.

Life on the ISS

Right now, there are seven people living on the ISS. They come from different space agencies. There are also several spacecraft docked to the station. These include crewed ships and cargo vehicles.

A Busy Place

The ISS is a busy place. Astronauts do science experiments and maintenance work. But sometimes, they get to enjoy beautiful views of Earth. Yui's photos remind us of the amazing things happening in space.
