If you ever drove past the Rockies and thought mountains were permanent and unmoving, a recent photo taken from space might make you think again. NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, looking out the window of the International Space Station some 259 miles above Earth, aimed a handheld camera at the Himalayas and captured something most of us never get the chance to see: glaciers actually flowing, like slow-moving rivers of ice, down the mountains’ northern slopes and onto China’s Tibetan Plateau.
According to the Space. com report, published as its "space photo of the day," the image captures a mountain range so vast that even a helicopter ride wouldn't offer the same sweeping view.
