Autor Tim Peakeen Hardback – 5 iun 2017
The
#1
international
bestseller:
An
astronaut's
tour
of
our
planet
from
the
heavens,
featuring
150
mesmerizing
photographs
(with
commentary)
from
the
International
Space
Station
One of Space.com's Best Space Photography Books!
During his six-month mission to the International Space Station, astronaut Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to complete a spacewalk--and, perhaps more astonishingly, the first to run an entire marathon in space. During his historic mission, he captured hundreds of dazzling photographs, the very best of which are collected here.
Tim
captures
the
majesty
of
the
cosmos
and
of
the
planet
we
call
home:
breath-taking
aerial
photos
of
the
world's
cities
illuminated
at
night,
the
natural
beauty
of
the
northern
lights,
and
unforgettable
views
of
oceans,
mountains,
and
deserts.
Tim's
lively
stories
about
life
in
space
appear
alongside
these
photographs,
including
the
tale
from
which
the
title
is
taken:
his
famous
wrong
number
dialed
from
space,
when
he
accidentally
called
a
stranger
and
asked:
"Hello,
is
this
planet
Earth?"
With
this
truly
unique
perspective
on
the
incredible
sights
of
our
planet,
Tim
demonstrates
that
while
in
space,
hundreds
of
miles
above
his
friends
and
family,
he
never
felt
closer
to
home.
