Munich from far above. And one place in particular immediately catches your eye – do you recognize it too?
Munich – the Bavarian state capital – viewed from very, very high up. The German astronaut Matthias Maurer (41) has been exploring space on the ISS since November 2021 and has now shared spectacular shots from space via Twitter: From Munich *. He writes: “Bavaria’s capital is easy to recognize with the English Garden* and the Theresienwiese – even from up here!”. And indeed: If you take a closer look at the pictures, the Theresienwiese in particular clearly stands out.
Crazy Munich picture from space: do you recognize the “classic” immediately?
The astronaut shares a total of four images. Munich connoisseurs will clearly recognize many places. For example, Munich Airport can be seen in the first photo. The city area is shown on the others. In addition to the clearly recognizable Theresienwiese, other Munich “classics” can also be seen. For example the Isar as it meanders through the city or the English Garden. Twitter users are also enthusiastic about the recordings.
Servus Munich! 👋 Bavaria’s capital is easy to spot with its English Garden and Theresienwiese – even from up here! If you know where it is, you might also see the European Southern Observatory @ESO, who collaborate with @esa on space research & observation 🔭 #CosmicKiss pic.twitter.com/sGcmuLsdsG

“I can see my house!” writes one person. Many others are simply blown away by the photos of the Isar metropolis and say so with statements like “wow!”. and thank the astronaut Matthias Maurer for these rare – and breathtaking pictures. * tz.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
