Canadian astronaut, Commander Chris Hadfield has shared some extraordinary photographs of Planet Earth. He is currently on board of the International Space Station (ISS) on a five months mission. He is also the first Canadian Commander of the ISS.
We have all admired the beauty of the universe rendered through the lenses of the machines man set free in and out of our Solar System, but none of them were… live tweeted. Chris Hadfield has joined the crew on the ISS on December 21, 2012, as part of Expedition 35. The Canadian astronaut caught the staggering beauty of Mother Earth with different cameras, such as Nikon D2 and D3. One of the largest lenses he used is a 400mm one. Beauty is hard to keep to one’s self, so he brought us the pleasure to see the amazing shots he took, by tweeting them on his personal account. If you want to follow him (we highly advise you to), you can find him @Cmdr_Hadfield. The photos Hadfield snapped vary, from snow covered rice fields in China, to exotic islands in the Philippines. Bellow are some of his images together with his Twitter captions.
According to BBC, the Canadian Space Agency has recently arranged a live session of tweets between William Shatner, the actor who played Captain Kirk in Star Trek, and the astronaut Chris Hadfield, much to the fans’ delight.
