What more he also posted another tweet which was a sort of quiz!! Yep he asked his Twitter followers to name the city in India that he had captured and posted in his tweet. His tweet said: “This #Namethe city in #India caught my eye. Click to see which city is shown here.” He had captured the spectacular visions of Ahmedabad and Chennai during the night hours when these cities were shining in its glory to the utmost.
He also expressed his admiration and wonder when he captured an extensive lightning storm and tweeted saying : “Massive lightning storm over #India. A majestic performance that inspires awe and respect”.

Must say a big “Thank You” to Virts, because it is difficult for us to actually reach a spaceship and he with his thoughtfulness tweeted these images and videos for us to enjoy the stunning view of these regions from space!!
