Toronto In Context (From Outer Space)



Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield (he's from Milton, just outside Toronto) took another great photo of our city while he was up there in outer space today doing his thing as the current Commander of the International Space Station. This photograph shows almost all of the Great Lakes, so I figured I'd throw a few labels on it and put our metropolis in context from an angle you don't usually get to see.

Click on the image to make it bigger. And you can see the original, without labels, here.

Frozen Toronto From Outer Space



This photo was taken yesterday, the second to last day of 2012, by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. He passed overhead in the International Space Station a little after noon.

Happy New Year's folks! Get drunk! Be safe!

Update: Torontoist has some more of Hadfield's photos of Toronto here
