A Japanese astronaut has shared a stunning series of images of Palm Islands and the wider UAE coastline from space.
@Astro_Wakata is currently in situ on the ISS, and from his viewpoint, he has an out-of-this-world view of the UAE coast… which he generously shared for us all to see on Twitter!
Dubai Media Office retweeted the images which show the UAE coastline as clear as day!
Wakata Koichi is a Japanese astronaut who said he’s honoured to serve as a member of the UAE Space Agency advisory committee
Beautiful coast of the United Arab Emirates! We can see the Palm Islands of Dubai very clearly from the ISS. Honor to serve as a member of the UAE Space Agency advisory committee!
