ATLANTA — How cool is this? On Tuesday evening, NASA astronaut Christina H. Koch shared a pic of Atlanta from space.

Along with the picture, Koch included the caption, “Looking good, Atlanta!”

Koch is a current resident of the International Space Station, the world-class lab orbiting Earth 250 miles above.

In late 2019, Koch broke the record of the longest single spaceflight by a woman with 288 days in space, according to ABC News.

Last week, Koch said living in space has given her a new appreciation for Earth.

“At times, gazing out at the planet has evoked feelings of being #EarthSick for the people and places I love so much,” Koch tweeted.

Thanks for sharing, Christina!
