National Geographic Live with Astronaut Terry Virts at The Peace Center

National Geogrphic Live! Terry Virts - View From Above | Monday, September, 24 at 6pm. Tickets $20 each at the Peace Concert Hall.

Step back, about 220 miles from Earth, and experience our planet from a new perspective. Gain a deeper understanding of the planet’s beauty, climate, and place in the universe from former International Space Station Commander Terry Virts, who took hours of video and hundreds of thousands of still images from the station’s 360-degree viewing module.
 
A celebrated NASA astronaut, pilot of the space shuttle Endeavour, and crew member on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, Virts spent 200 consecutive days in space as commander of the International Space Station — one of the longest continuous space missions of any NASA astronaut. More recently, he appeared in the 2016 IMAX film A Beautiful Planet, a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space that features stunning footage—much of it shot by Virts while aboard (and outside) the International Space Station—of our magnificent blue planet and humanity's impact on it. His photography, which provides incredible aerial views of Earth and the vast space that surrounds it, is featured in the National Geographic book View From Above: An Astronaut Photographs the World.

Show Details: Monday, September 24 at 6pm. Tickets are $20 each at The Peace Center in Greenville, SC.
