Arts Commons Presents National Geographic Live View from Above with astronaut Terry Virts

Station (ISS), where he installed the Cupola module, granting an unprecedented 360-degree view from the station, taking more photographs than any astronaut who came before him.

Join Arts Commons Presents as we learn about Virts’ experience and time in the cosmos from the man himself. For more information, please call our box office 403-294-9494.

Description
Sometimes, a little distance is all you need to see things in a brand new way. For astronaut Terry Virts, his newfound perspective was from the International Space Station (ISS), where he installed the Cupola module, granting an unprecedented 360-degree view from the station, taking more photographs than any astronaut who came before him. Many of those images were later used in the National Geographic book View From Above and IMAX film A Beautiful Planet, but according to Virts, no photo can capture the perfect shade of blue from a sunrise viewed from outer space.
