Pic: Stunning cloudless shot of Ireland this evening from the International Space Station

Courtesy of astronaut Reid Wiseman, Ireland looked absolutely amazing from space tonight.

Today was a glorious day weather wise, all across the country and now we have definitive proof from on high. One of the astronauts in the International Space Station, Reid Wiseman, managed to capture our little island underneath an almost cloudless sky.

Hello Ireland, been waiting to see you pic.twitter.com/MVI1SczDqn — Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid) June 16, 2014

As he says in the tweet, he's been waiting a while. So have we Reid, and fingers crossed we'll have a few more days like this to come this week.
