"Beautiful pass over the Falkland Islands." Cape Town and almost all of South Africa. Beautiful!" "Trying to catch Perth at sunset, got these clouds instead. I'll take it." "Cloudy skies over Sao Paolo. #worldcup" "A nice day to hit the beach in Santos, Brazil."
"My parents were waving in Maryland at sunrise, so I took a picture of them." "A simple toy from my childhood makes for a cool picture in space."
"It took a 12mm lens to confirm – earth is round." "Gorgeous glacial flows near Straits of Magellan. I was there in '08." "Goodnight from space. Our planet is almost all ocean and so pretty." "Finally! #SoyuzTMA13M selfie @astro_alex @msuraev" "Great perspective thru the Lab towards me in Node 2." "Two volcanoes peek through the morning clouds near Auckland, New Zealand."
