An image of London by night as seen from spaceToday’s “Saturday Science” article from NASA talks about astrophotography on the ISS, some intelligent tinkering, and noseprints on the windows. There’s photography of Earth, too: aurorae and city pictures (like this image of London at night. Pratchett fans: in the larger version of this image on the article’s page, you can clearly see at least part of the dread rune Odegra. …That’s the M25 ring road, to the rest of you). …If you’re interested in hunting down images of your own area, look here: this link is the gateway “search” page for astronaut photography.
