KARACHI: French astronaut Thomas Pesquet shared an image of a Karachi shimmering with lights from space on Tuesday from his Twitter account, showing the port city from afar.
If you've always wondered how Karachi looks from the space where spaceships and satellites orbit celestial bodies, then astronaut Thomas Pesquet leaves nothing to your imagination. The French astronaut, who often shares images from his spaceship above of cities and countries, shared this image of Pakistan's most important port city on Twitter.

The dark blue Arabian Sea can be seen clearly in the image against the contrasting bright lights of the city. Karachi, known as the City of Lights, is known for its night life where shops are often till way past midnight unlike certain other cities of the country.
Here's another image that Pesquet shared a couple of days ago. This was an image of the city Jeddah, as seen from space.
