ISS Commander: “the most amazing thing I have ever seen in space”
Having, unexpectedly, survived its solar close encounter, Comet Lovejoy is providing some spectacular views for early morning observers in the southern hemisphere. Spaceweather has a growing collection of images.
But the most spectacular view has to have been the one captured by the crew of the International Space Station (ISS). Wow! [Video courtesy of the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center]
Usually they make do with stunning views of aurorae… Here’s ISS Commander Dan Burbank speaking to WDIV-TV in Detroit about that view. [Video credit: Nasa/ISS]

Aw Cynic2 you never fail to amuse, someday why don’t you try to soar with the eagles instead of the other thing?
Also a comment that actually is smart would be a pleasant surprise. The man is on the international space station I’m sure he might have glanced down on occasion.
