Photographs from the ISS

Below are 6 amazing photos tweeted by Douglas H. Wheelock during Expedition 25 in the Fall of 2010. Apart from a few photographs, Wheelock took most of them from the International Space Station and relayed them back via twitter @Astro_wheels. These photos show how small we really are in this vast universe. It also shows the progression of technology by demonstrating the ability to instantly relay pictures from SPACE! The rest of the photos can be seen at THIS LINK as well as other photographs at Douglas' twitter account list above.
