ISS makes three close passes over Paris #PrayersForFrance #OrbitalPerspective

November 13, 2015/ Liam Kennedy

The International Space Station makes a bright visible pass over Paris at 6:37am local time and it is visible to all who would look up. It's a reminder to all who see it that we are one small world.

Almost 92 minutes later it makes yet another close pass JUST as sunrise breaks over Paris. May the new day bring hope and possibilities for a world united in peace.

This shows the passes of the International Space Station over Paris on the morning of November 14 2015

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been impacted by this terrible act of violence.
