What do fireworks look like from outer space? A NASA astronaut recently caught a glimpse of an explosive light show from the vantage of the International Space Station.
Chris Williams, who has been stationed aboard the 25-year-old orbital outpost since the end of November, even managed to capture a dazzling video of the display.
The fireworks were part of Lunar New Year festivities in China as billions of people around the world have begun celebrating the 15-day festival.
For a second I didn’t believe fireworks would go that high…
If I click a link to see a picture/video and the first thing I see is an unskippable ad, I back out immediately. I’m sure it looks cool.
Here’s a link to Chris Williams’ [original post on Twitter](https://x.com/Astro_ChrisW/status/2024182051474157928?s=20) if you just want the video without the ads and fluff.
