We love a great view of Chicago from space and Canadian astronaut, Cmdr. Chris Hadfield, provided a great one of the lakefront to kick off the new year.

Hadfield flew to the International Space Station in a Soyuz space capsule last month for a five-month mission and will become the first commander of an ISS expedition in March. He became fluent in Russian for the expedition and will lead two spacewalks while aboard the ISS.
