An astronaut on the International Space Station shared a photo of Atlanta Tuesday evening that’s out of this world.
The photo, shared by Christina H. Koch, shows Atlanta lit up — the cities main arteries (er, interstates) are clearly visible.
“Looking good, Atlanta! Good evening to the ATL,” Koch wrote in the tweet.
Koch regularly shares photos on social media from space, including recent shots of Madagascar and New Zealand.
Koch, a Michigan native, broke the record last year for the longest space mission by a woman.
"Having the opportunity to be up here for so long is truly an honor," Koch told Space.com last summer.
The photo isn’t the first time the ATL has been seen from space. In 2017, Georgia native and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough shared a shot of Atlanta from above.
The Smyrna native and Georgia Tech grad also snapped the photo during a stint aboard the International Space Station.
