U.S. astronaut Terry Virts tweeted this image after completing a series of spacewalks with his partner astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore to prepare the International Space Station for upcoming U.S. commercial spacecraft currently in development. Virts tweeted: "Mission Accomplished - 3 #spacewalks, 800' of cable, 4 antennas, 3 laser reflectors, 1 greased robotic arm."

From the International Space Station, Expedition 42 Flight Engineer Terry W. Virts took this photograph of the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Gulf Coast at sunset. The space station and its crew orbit Earth from an altitude of 220 miles, travelling at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour. Because the station completes each trip around the globe in about 92 minutes, the crew experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.

NASA astronaut Terry Virts, commander of Expedition 43 on board the International Space Station, tweeted this beautiful image of our planet with this simple comment "#Earth".

Expedition 43 commander and NASA astronaut Terry Virts is seen here inside the station's Cupola module. The Cupola is designed for the observation of operations outside the ISS such as robotic activities, the approach of vehicles, and spacewalks. It also provides spectacular views of Earth and celestial objects for use in astronaut observation experiments.

Aboard the International Space Station astronauts have spectacular views of the Earth. NASA Astronaut Terry Virts, commander of Expedition 43, tweeted this comment with this image, "Every #sunset is different, this one was blue".
