Simply breathtaking...

Simply breathtaking…

It seems that Baltimore astronaut Reid Wiseman refuses to let his twitter followers down, despite the fact that he is currently 150 miles above earth.

Wiseman is currently halfway through a 166-day mission aboard the ISS space station in low Earth orbit but, much to our delight, he took time away from his important work to take these breathtaking images of the elusive  Northern Lights.

If ever a single word summed up a tweet then this is it.

 


JOE has never wanted to be an astronaut as much in our life then after seeing these images.
