Are you seeing pictures of snow-capped mountain ranges from people who are travelling in Northern India currently? It may look so beautiful, but there's a picture that is so out of the world, literally! NASA which keeps sharing pictures of the planet's beauty as observed from the space, has shared a picture of snow-covered Himalayan ranges this time. The long exposure shot sees not just the expanse of bright white mountain ranges, but also captures the city lights of New Delhi and Lahore, Pakistan. And among these details is also a faint, orange airglow of atmospheric particles reacting to solar radiation.⁣ The picture is so stunning, that you'd hope to be up there and see it yourself.

During the months of Coronavirus lockdown, due to the reduced pollution, people got lucky to see the mighty Himalayan mountains from their cities. And the Himalayas, highest mountain range in the world, can bring a delight to any spectator. But NASA has shared a view from International Space Station that we may not know we really needed to see. It's just amazing. A long exposure shot which captures the entire mountain range, covered in snow, along with parts of India, Pakistan to the south and arid Tibetan plateau to the north. An orange glow at the horizon of the Earth adds the element of beauty of this universe. In the past, they have shared a beautiful picture of the same airglow meeting with Aurora lights!
