separate video showing Mount Everest<\/a> visible from Bihar captured attention across social media, igniting fresh fascination with the world’s tallest peak.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nDon Pettit, a veteran Nasa astronaut, posted the spectacular photograph with the note: \u201cOrbiting the Himalayas mountain range. Mount Everest is in this photo, with much of Nepal visible as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The image was taken during his most recent six-month science mission aboard the Space Station, an assignment that concluded earlier this year after 220 days in orbit.<\/p>\n
The photo captures the vast, snow-capped expanse of the Himalayas as viewed from low-Earth orbit.<\/p>\n
Everest\u2019s iconic summit stands out dramatically among the ridgeline, while the rest of Nepal\u2019s dramatic topography unspools below. Pettit\u2019s post resonated strongly, with enthusiastic reactions from both the global astronomical community and people of the subcontinent, for whom Everest is both a symbol of natural wonder and national pride.<\/p>\n
The astronaut\u2019s spaceborne vantage point coincided with a viral sensation closer to the ground: a video widely shared online showed Mount Everest visible from the Indian state of Bihar. Rare meteorological clarity and minimal air pollution occasionally grant such vivid sightlines, but eyewitness accounts and visual proofs remain rare, and are quickly celebrated when they occur.<\/p>\n
Pettit\u2019s post and the viral Bihar video together highlight the enduring fascination with the Himalayas, reminding the world of the region\u2019s natural grandeur.<\/p>\n
Such images from space serve not only as feats of science and technology, but as windows into the planet\u2019s beauty, rendering borders invisible and inspiring a sense of global unity as humanity gazes up or, in this case, down from above.<\/p>\n
