NASA astronaut and National Geographic author Terry Virts brings his stunning photos and unique stories to the Fred Kavli Theatre on Friday, February 2, 2018 at 8:00 pm.
As a NASA astronaut, pilot of the space shuttle Endeavour and crew member on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, Virts spent 200 consecutive days in space as commander of the International Space Station-one of the longest continuous space mission of any NASA astronaut.
More recently, Virts appeared in the 2016 IMAX film "A Beautiful Planet," a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space that features stunning footage-much of it shot by Virts while aboard (and outside) the International Space Station-of our magnificent blue planet and humanity's impact on it. His photography, which provides incredible aerial views of Earth and the vast space that surrounds it, is featured in a new National Geographic book, "VIEW FROM ABOVE: An Astronaut Photographs the World," which is available wherever books are sold.
