Did You Watch Super Bowl, Banning-Beaumont? Here's What It Looked Like From Space!
Astronaut Scott Kelly focused on the Bay Area and posted a series of spectacular photos taken from the space station.
Yesterdayβs Super Bowl was thrilling, especially if youβre a Denver Broncos fan and if you appreciate good defense.
The halftime show was also top notch, headlined by Coldplay, and featuring performances by Bruno Mars and Beyonce.

The weather cooperated, with blue skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s at Leviβs Stadium in Santa Clara. Those clear skies gave astronaut Scott Kelly a perfect opportunity to snap photos over the San Francisco Bay Area as he zipped by at 17,500 MPH.
Kelly posted 3 photos of the Bay Area to his Twitter feed. He captioned them:
