Penmarch to Brest in big

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet spent six months on the International Space Station as part of his second mission Alpha in 2021. In his free time, like many astronauts, he enjoyed looking out of the Cupola windows at Earth.

This collage shows Brittany's French coast, from Penmarch to Brest, assembled from many images that were digitally mapped, rotated, and combined.

Thomas asked to have the series of highly zoomed-in pictures aligned into this collage to show the area in detail.

The International Space Station flies at roughly 400 km altitude so Thomas used the longest lenses available onboard.
