The Earth from Space

I wasn't aware of these...hopefully they're new to some people here as well.

Soichi Noguchi is a Japanese astronaut aboard the International Space Station. He's started twittering pics from the space station, and they're beautiful. You can follow him on Twitter, and you can see all of his photos here. Some of my favorites of his are below.

The Golden Gate Bridge



Clouds over the Antarctic



Port-au-Prince after the earthquake



Mount Fuji



The Amazon

Aren't they? Apparently he's using a Nikon D2Xs DSLR with an 800mm lens to take these.

It reminds you how insignificant we really are. I can't get over the bridge looking like a lego stick or something. Amazing

You might want to revisit your image links. They aren't showing up, and looking at the URLs, they're not quite right.

Fixed, I hope. I'm not good with this fancy technology.
