Your eyes could be as good as an astronaut’s if you spot space walker’s legs
YOUR eyesight could be as good as an astronaut’s if you can spot the space walker’s legs on the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei posted a picture from a Russian spacewalk and issued a challenge to viewers.
Hidden in the picture is an astronaut’s legs dangling off the side of the space station.
In the picture, taken February 2 2018, a breath-taking view of Earth can be seen amid the vast landscape of space.
Cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Anton Shkaplerov set a new record for the longest Russian spacewalk that day.
The pair spent eight hours outside the ISS to install new parts to an antenna to improve communications with Russia’s flight controllers on Earth, CNET reported.
If you’re in need of a cheeky hint, check the top-centre of the picture.

Once you’ve found the legs, take a moment to appreciate the vast size of the ISS compared to the astronauts lower limbs.
