NASA astronaut shares photo of Himalayas and 'cloudy' India from space. Can you spot Everest?

A NASA astronaut has captured the majestic Mount Everest from space. A photo of the highest mountain on Earth, taken from the International Space Station (ISS), was shared by Don Pettit, known for his remarkable pictures from space. The image shows the snow-covered summit of Mount Everest with tough Nepalese terrain around it. Sharing the photo, he wrote, "Orbiting the Himalayas mountain range. Mount Everest is in this photo, with much of Nepal visible as well." The ISS was above the Himalayas at the time he took the photo. Pettit added in another comment that the lower left region in the photo "is a cloudy lower Nepal and India, China is above the range in this photo." Another user wrote, "This photo makes you realise going to space is way cooler than climbing Mount Everest."
