Life Is Beautiful

A bright orange zinnia has blossomed aboard the International Space Station (ISS), marking a first in space. U.S. astronaut Scott Joseph Kelly, who took the photograph, tweeted: “First flower ever grown in space makes its debut”. Zinnias grow easily on Earth and blossom in abundance in summer but on the ISS they have had trouble adapting to microgravity. Photo: Scott Kelly/Handout/AFP/Getty Images.
