Thomas Pesquet: This is what the ISS looks like at night… pink light for vegetable growth experiments, fluorescent stickers for egress path in an emergency, green LEDs for oh so many electronic systems

Voilà à quoi ressemble la Station spatiale internationale la nuit : lumière rose de nos serres (où poussent des plantes en microgravité), vignettes fluorescentes pour indiquer les chemins à suivre en cas d’urgence, diodes vertes de nos innombrables systèmes électroniques… Une ambiance de film de science-fiction ! 🙂
