NASA Reveals 20 Most Stunning Earth Images Taken From The ISS

NASA just revealed the top 20 most stunning images taken by astronauts onboard the International Space Station during 2020.

For 20 years, the International Space Station (ISS) has been manned. The astronauts up there, while being occupied with technical and scientific work, still have some free time. And many crew members have decided to spend their free time taking photos of the Earth. The images below were taken from the ISS at an altitude of over 320 kilometers.
