Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is currently orbiting Earth aboard the International Space Station. He’s been taking pictures of the planet and posting them on his Twitter account (@Cmdr_Hadfield) from space. ‘The first shot of Vancouver, BC, where the Fraser flows into the sea. A beautiful city,’ he tweeted on Monday. The International Space Station orbits the planet 15.7 times a day at an altitude between 330 km and 410 km above the Earth.
