«Turin, a city rich in history and culture, is easy to see from the ISS. Good night Italy! ». These are the words that accompanied the photo taken from about 400 kilometers of height of the Piedmontese capital by AstroKimbrough and published on its Instagram site. Five days earlier he had published one in Madrid, also shot at night, but with a much more neutral comment.
