Good night,
What does our planet look like in outer space hundreds of kilometers away from Earth? French astronaut Thomas Pesquet is one of the lucky few who can answer that question.
During his second ascent to the International Space Station (ISS), Pesquet took hundreds of thousands of photos of the stunning views he saw from this unique perspective, as well as extreme weather such as hurricanes, wildfires, and so on. Clearly visible damage. In his recently published book, La Terre entre nos mains (La Terre entre nos mains), which includes 300 images, he shares with the world the beauty and fragility of the blue planet, and calls for action on climate change. The proceeds will be donated to to charities.

During his tenure, he drove Brazil’s economic development and made outstanding achievements in poverty alleviation. More than 80% of the support rate has left office. .
