snapshot from spaceNaples shows itself even more beautiful: it has been immortalized Samantha CristoforettiThe astronaut is currently on a mission with the European Space Agency (ESA) and is currently aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts often take advantage of these missions to share amazing pictures of Earth on social networks, especially at night when artificial lights “paint” countries and cities.

This time Naples was also captivated by the “black hole” represented by Vesuvius at night (the absence of lights, compared to Naples and its province, is evident). “Beautiful com, beautiful com, “Sita” and polycinella”, joked the cosmonaut Trentino, posting the photos on Twitter. Cristoforetti, who also knows Naples and its surroundings well: in 2001, in fact, he began his career as a military pilot by accepting him at the Air Force Academy in Pozzuoli, and in the next three years he got a Bachelor’s degree, with thesis discussed in October 2004, in Aeronautics at the Department of Political Science at Federico II University of Naples with a grade of 110/110 cum laude.
