Astronaut Tweets Pictures From Space

We've heard about astronauts tweeting from space before. It's great to hear the thoughts of the men we're sending into orbit but they never say anything gob smackingly interesting.

However, the latest space-tweets are a different story. Soichi Noguchi, an astronaut on board the International Space Station, has been tweeting pictures he's taken while in orbit giving us folks on the ground a little peek into what he sees on a day to day basis.

Among the images are pictures of a post-earthquake Haiti; New Orleans; London, England; Casa Blanca, Morocco; Moscow, Russia and Sapporo, JAPAN.

Check out our favorites below. You can look at the rest of Soichi's images by visiting his TwitPic feed here.
