Sultan AlNeyadi keeps sharing his snippets from the International Space Centre, where he is stationed for the next few months. The UAE astronaut recently left netizens awestruck with yet another dazzling video from space! He posted a video on his Twitter account wherein he wished his followers a Blessed Ramadan in the caption. While showing both sides of the observation area in the ISS, he goes on to share a beautiful red sunset in the three-minute video.
Recording this magical moment, while the sunset only lasts for just 10 seconds, it is definitely something that has left his followers in awe. As the sun goes down, stars appear and soon after the crescent is also visible at a distance, which he later zooms on. The shining dot next to the moon is believed to be Saturn! Finally, he ends the video on a positive note, saying that there is no better place to witness the Hilal Ramadan than the International Space Station.
