Happy Independence Day from the International Space Station to all Indians worldwide, AlNeyadi wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. I’m sending you a photo of New Delhi, the capital of India, taken from space.

AlNeyadi included the greeting “Namaste” in his tweet in 11 different Indian languages, including Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi.

AlNeyadi’s additional space posts about India

AlNeyadi has already published images from the space that were relevant to India. He posted pictures of the Himalayas taken from space earlier this month on Twitter. The images depicted the snow-covered Himalayas against a cloudy background, providing an incredible landscape that exemplifies the beauty of nature as seen from space.

“From space, the Himalayas. These mountains, which are home to the Everest summit, the highest point on Earth above sea level, are one of the classic symbols of the diverse natural beauty of our world, remarked Sultan Al Neyadi when posting the images to Twitter.

AlNeyadi published images of Cyclone Biparjoy in June of this year. He posted the images on Twitter along with the following caption: “Here are some pictures of the cyclone #Biparjoy forming in the Arabian Sea that I clicked over two days from the International Space Station.”
