Mount Everest saw from Bihar; Astronaut shares a beautiful view of Himalayas from space: see viral photos
A containing image of Mount Everest taken from the International Space Station (ISS) has gripped the imagination of millions worldwide after the NASA space spacer Don Pettit shared his breathtaking view of the Himalayas of Orbit. The image, which shows the tower peak of Everest and a large part of the robust landscape of Nepal, went over the social media platforms viral and awe for the world’s highest mountain. Pettit, a veteran scam and capable photographer, posted the photo on his official account with the heading: “To orbit the Himalayas mountain range. Mount Everest is in this photo, with many of Nepal also visible (sic).” The photo was taken during its most recent scientific mission of six months on board the ISS, which concluded earlier this year after 220 days in orbit. The image catches the snow-dressed expanse of the Himalayas that stretch over the frame bright, with the unmistakable top of Everest shining under sunlight. The post has drawn admiration of scientists, nature lovers and people in South Asia, for whom the mountain remains a powerful emblem of majesty and perseverance. Pettit’s heavenly perspective coincided with another viral moment closer to Earth – a video that appeared online with the Mount Everest visible from the Indian state of Bihar. The footage, which was widely shared across social media, fascinated viewers who marveled at the rare meteorological clarity that made the face possible. Such phenomena rarely occur, often during periods of exceptionally low air pollution and atmospheric transparency, making them particularly noticeable when captured. Together, Pettit’s photo and the Bihar footage underline the continued fascination of humanity with the Himalayas, a region that still inspires wonder and reverence.
