Whoa.

Whoa.

No one in it, but chilling picture anyway.

Originally shared by SETI Institute

Eight years ago, a spacesuit was intentionally floated away from the International Space Station. Dubbed Suitsat-1, the unneeded Russian Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with old clothes was fitted with a faint radio transmitter and released to orbit the Earth. The suit circled the Earth twice before its radio signal became unexpectedly weak. Suitsat-1 continued to orbit every 90 minutes until it burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere after a few weeks.
