Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have finally touched down on Earth after a long nine months up in space — but they still have a lengthy journey of healing to go through.
After NASA released photos of the two landing back home, walking gingerly, and shaking hands with other NASA personnel after undergoing a series of health checks, doctors noticed Williams’ appearance may be cause for some concern.
It’s no surprise that the 59-year-old would look different after such a long time in a harsh environment, but before-and-after photos showing Williams’ now grayer hair, deeper wrinkles, and more gaunt face have clued experts in on just how brutal space has been to the woman’s body.
