French astronaut, Thomas Pesquet shared a breathtaking photo of the Brahmaputra river from Space on India’s Republic Day. “The sun reflecting on the Brahmaputra River in #India. Today is India #RepublicDay” he tweeted along with the image.

Needless to say, the photo went viral with many Indians thanking Thomas for sharing this photo of the Brahmaputra. Some even tweeted some fun facts. “Brahmaputra is the only India river name that is masculine,” tweeted one user.

Thank you for reminding us how beautiful our earth is, once again, Thomas.
