We have grown accustomed to seeing pictures of astronauts inside the International Space Station, as they float in zero-G and tend their science experiments. We are getting used to the images of spacewalking astronauts. This is new.
Two astronauts are on a spacewalk.
Sebastian Voltmer is an award-winning German photographer who has been published in numerous publications. He has had his work featured in exhibitions at the Carl Zeiss Planetarium in Stuttgart, as well as at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC.
The image was taken on March 23rd. The spacewalk shows American and German astronauts working on a camera and doing maintenance.
“It’s probably the first ground-based picture showing two spacewalkers on the ISS at the same time.”
Sebastian Voltmer, Astrophotographer Extraordinaire.
The image of the ISS pass was taken on March 23, 2022, under good seeing conditions through my C11 EdgeHD telescope.
