Guy Snaps Photo of Space Station So Detailed You Can See Spacewalking Astronauts on Exterior – Futurism

The shots of stuff in space that you can get with a high quality telescope these days are incredible. For a gobstopping example, look no further than German astrophotographer Sebastian Voltmer, who managed to snap a photo of the International Space Station in which, amazingly, you can actually make out two astronauts clambering on its exterior during a spacewalk last week.

I feel like I just made a once in a life time image, Voltmer wrote of the image. Its probably the first ground based picture showing two spacewalkers on the ISS at the same time.

Heres the shot:

The unbelievable shot shows NASA astronaut Raja Chari and and ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer during a spacewalk last week. Voltmer says that the image was captured using a C11 EdgeHD telescope (and you can check out more of his space photography here.)

During the spacewalk of the two astronauts [Raja Chari] and [Matthias Maurer] the International Space Station appeared shortly after sunset in the bright evening sky over Germany, he wrote. This image of the ISS was taken on March 23, 2022.

Weve seen a lot of incredible space images over at Futurism but in terms of a shot takenfrom the ground, this ones going to be tough to beat.
