Answer 1

Answer:

A dazzling and sparkling star

Explanation:

An astronaut can make the following observations -

a) Russia looks like a dazzling and sparkling star at night.

b) The street and major roads appears to be streaming out from the central sparkle which spread in all directions across their entire land

c) Along with sparkling yellow light , a glimpse of blue, white and purple light  can also be seen  thereby  contrasting the night sky full of stars.

Answer 2

One observation would be the physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space. In addition, part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth. Also, an astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.
