Picture of the day

As you may or may not know, they have not only recently installed a new cupola window on the International Space Station, but now the astronauts have web access there too. One of the astronauts making use of this is Japanese spaceman Soichi Noguchi, who also took up a 800mm lens camera onto the ISS with him.

With his giant camera, new window, and new internet access he has done what any serious scientist would have done: he took pictures of stuff and posted them to Twitter!

You can follow Astro_Soichi here or take a gander at the dozens of photos he has posted here. They shots of his life on the ISS, shuttle reentries, and cities around the world.
